SIGINT is the terminal interrupt signal. It is typically sent as a result of typing control-C (^C) on the keyboard. Why would pqact(1) be receiving a SIGINT signal? As far as I know, only the LDM server (rpc.ldmd) sends a SIGINT signal -- and only when it's trying to shutdown the LDM system. Regards, Steve Emmerson
