traps and shells
UNIX has signals, various signals. When you’re working on shell scripts, you may need to intercept and deal with them. The syntax for intercepting signals is the trap action SIG1 … SIGN, where depending on your shell the SIG1…SIGN may be specified as an integer (bourne shell, i.e. raw sh), or symbolically as HUP, TERM (ksh, bash, zsh). Of course those of you using csh and tcsh should get a real shell 🙂.

Today’s bug
1120599 – Visor Prism Startup Crash
Based on the fact sheet from Palm one, we have the following details about a visor: it runs palmos 3.5.2, has a 16bit display, and when we start up pocketcity it crashes.
Well it doesn’t seem to happen with the developer roms I have, which makes things a bit difficult.
