NAME

hupter - relay SIGHUP to payload process as SIGTERM.

 

SYNOPSIS

hupter [-usage | -help] command >& <log file>

 

DESCRIPTION

hupter(1) is an application which relays SIGHUP, SIGQUIT, SIGINT and SIGTERM processes to a (child) payload process as SIGTERM. This permits processes which have been detached from their controlling terminals to exit when their parent, usually a shell such as sh(1) or tcsh(1) exits. Useful in shell scripts where process hierarchies need to be cleaned up if their parent (shell) process exits abnormally.
