Subject: TRAPALRM / TMOUT oddity
Date: Wed, 25 May 2011 20:47:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <110525204737.ZM24434@torch.brasslantern.com> (raw)
Consider:
% TRAPALRM() { print TIME IS UP; exit 1 }
% TMOUT=5
You'd expect the shell to exit in 5 seconds, but instead what happens is
that TIME IS UP is printed every 5 seconds until any key is pressed, at
which point the shell exits.
The same behavior occurs when using "trap".
