Question kill signal


Dear All

I am in a problem to send SIGQUIT signal to any
command. With SIGQUIT signal i can kill vi program but
according to its definition it does not save any
core dump or reference file to current directory .

So anybody plz can tell me what is the actual
definition of SIGQUIT signal which is practically
experienced.

SIGQUIT is the signal to quit a program. This is the nice way of doing it, files are closed and the memory is released by the program. The rude way would be using SIGKILL.

If what you want to do is produce a CORE file and about, you could use a different signal such as SIGSYS.

Read the "man 7 signals" for more info. Also the command "kill -l" will list all of the signals.
