You can catch the term signal, but you cannot handle the kill signal.

Code:

#include <signal.h>

sigset(SIGTERM, sigterm_handler); /* put this in main() */


void sigterm_handler(int signo){
/* the code u want to execute every time u catch a SIGTERM */
}

man 7 signal

u may also use signal function. I don't think it has any difference with sigset in Linux. In unix after catching a signal it restores the handler to its default function. In any case if are not planning to exit after catching the signal u may use something like that:

[CODE]

Code:

#include <signal.h>

signal(SIGTERM, sigterm_handler); /* put this in main() */


void sigterm_handler(int signo){
signal(SIGTERM, sigterm_handler);
/* the code u want to execute every time u catch a SIGTERM */
}

also Ctrl+C = SIGINT and not SIGTERM
