When Bash is interactive, in the absence of any traps, it ignores
SIGTERM
(so that `kill 0' does not kill an interactive shell),
and SIGINT
is caught and handled (so that the wait
builtin is interruptible).
When Bash receives a SIGINT
, it breaks out of any executing loops.
In all cases, Bash ignores SIGQUIT
.
If job control is in effect (see section 7. Job Control), Bash
ignores SIGTTIN
, SIGTTOU
, and SIGTSTP
.
Commands started by Bash have signal handlers set to the
values inherited by the shell from its parent.
When job control is not in effect, asynchronous commands
ignore SIGINT
and SIGQUIT
as well.
Commands run as a result of
command substitution ignore the keyboard-generated job control signals
SIGTTIN
, SIGTTOU
, and SIGTSTP
.
The shell exits by default upon receipt of a SIGHUP
.
Before exiting, an interactive shell resends the SIGHUP
to
all jobs, running or stopped.
Stopped jobs are sent SIGCONT
to ensure that they receive
the SIGHUP
.
To prevent the shell from sending the SIGHUP
signal to a
particular job, it should be removed
from the jobs table with the disown
builtin (see section 7.2 Job Control Builtins) or marked
to not receive SIGHUP
using disown -h
.
If the huponexit
shell option has been set with shopt
(see section 4.2 Bash Builtin Commands), Bash sends a SIGHUP
to all jobs when
an interactive login shell exits.
When Bash receives a signal for which a trap has been set while waiting
for a command to complete, the trap will not be executed until the
command completes.
When Bash is waiting for an asynchronous
command via the wait
builtin, the reception of a signal for
which a trap has been set will cause the wait
builtin to return
immediately with an exit status greater than 128, immediately after
which the trap is executed.
