Subject: [gentoo-user] OT: bash scripting: implement uninterruptable sleep
Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 10:13:32 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0603281004080.30414@tragbb.ehf.hav-fghggtneg.qr> (raw)

Hi List,

I have a shell script and want a uninterruptable sleep. /usr/bin/sleep 
itself seems to have its own signal handlers. How is it possible to sleep 
uninterruptable?

#!/bin/bash
trap "echo 'Ctrl+C should not work'" INT

for foo in 1 2 3; do
 	echo $foo
 	sleep 10
done
## end of script

TIA,

Sascha.
