note 98450 added to function.pcntl-wait

pcntl_wait will not terminate on signals if you have a PHP signal handler activated (pcntl_signal). This is unless the signal handler was activated with 3rd parameter=true. Example: <?php declare(ticks=1); pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, "myHandler"); $pid=pcntl_wait($status); ?> This will not terminate on SIGTERM sent to the process, because "wait" will be restarted after php recieves the signal. The signal handler "myHandler" will not be called unless pcntl_wait terminates for some other reason. Change to: <?php declare(ticks=1); pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, "myHandler", true); $pid=pcntl_wait($status); ?> Now the pcntl_wait terminates when a signal comes in and "myHandler" will be called on SIGTERM. (Make sure to put the wait in a loop though, because it will now not only terminate when a child exits but also when a signal arrives. Test for $pid>0 to detect a exit message from a child) (thanks to Andrey for helping me debugging this) ---- Server IP: 85.214.154.209 Probable Submitter: 87.193.204.81 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pcntl-wait.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98450 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98450/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98450/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98450/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98450/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98450/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98450/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98450 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98450 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
