SUMMARY: A small correction [BAutomating Shutdown (fwd)



Dear Managers,

  There is a small correction in the summary that I wrote. 
  Extremely sorry for providing a wrong information.

  You cannot trap SIGKILL interrupt in your applications.

  See the mail below.

  Thank you John

regards

Sudheesh

no application will ever recieve a SIGKILL. that is handled entirely by
the kernel.

this is why you cannot trap a SIGKILL, but you can trap a SIGTERM.
