Just noticed that `kill -l SIGINT` returns 'INT' rather than '2' I require the later to write a portable script. bash, coreutils and procps return '2' as expected. $ rpm -qf /bin/kill util-linux-2.13-0.51.fc7 $ /bin/kill -l SIGINT INT $ kill -l SIGINT #bash & procps do 2 Pádraig. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux-ng" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
