Re: why bash not send SIGHUP to its child when it exits

"Binary" <binary.chen@xxxxxxxxx> writes:

I wrote a small program that can capture the signal SIGHUP and print it
to syslog, I can receive the signal by type command : kill -SIGHUP pid

I run program in bash(pts/0):

./test &

then bash becomes the parent of this test program, then I type exit in
bash, it exits.
then the test become to be the child of init(pid 1)

but the test doesn't any SIGHUP signal, why?

I know if I use telnet tty, the program will receive this signal.
