SIGINFO for Solaris?
| 
Oct 1 15:27 UTC 2007 |
I want a program running on Solaris to handle the equivalent of the SIGINFO
signal available on BSD systems. What is this magic equivalent? SIGPROF has
the same integer constant, but from what I see online it's used for profiling
user vs. kernel time spent in the Solaris threading system, and I'd rather
not mess with that.
Thank for any ideas.

Well, there's always SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 if you have a need to define
signals that have a special meaning to your program.

Unfortunately, the problem is that this is for a native program with a JVM
embedded in it and java depends on SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2, so I can't mess with
those without breaking everything.

That *is* unfortunate. And, arguably, bad design on the part of the
Java designers.

Well, it's possible that SIGUSR2 is unused by the JVM. I can confirm for sure
SIGUSR1 *is* used by the JVM. I can double-check, but I'd still prefer to
do something SIGINFOesque. Thanks.
