To: bugs@ATHENA.MIT.EDU, rt-testers@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
System type, version: (RT/PC) Version 6.0C
System name: m16-034-15
(This problem still occurs in 6.0R at least on the RT side)
I don't know whether this happens at all on the vax side...
What's wrong:
The csh builtin kill allows SIGCONT to be sent to a job running as
root if specified by job number but not if specified by process id.
What should have happened:
kill should behave consistently.
This is best explained by example:
attach StaffTools
^Z
Stopped
**=> m16-034-15:/mit/qjb <=**
% jobs
[1] + 20794 Stopped attach -o soft StaffTools
**=> m16-034-15:/mit/qjb <=**
% kill -CONT 20794
20794: Not owner
**=> m16-034-15:/mit/qjb <=**
% kill 20794
20794: Not owner
**=> m16-034-15:/mit/qjb <=**
% kill -HUP 20794
20794: Not owner
**=> m16-034-15:/mit/qjb <=**
% kill -CONT %1
**=> m16-034-15:/mit/qjb <=**
% StaffTools: NFS mounted PRIAM.MIT.EDU:/slush/StaffTools on /mit/StaffTools (read-only)
[1] Done attach -o soft StaffTools
**=> m16-034-15:/mit/qjb <=**
% detach StaffTools
^Z
Stopped
**=> m16-034-15:/mit/qjb <=**
% kill -HUP %1
%1: Not owner
**=> m16-034-15:/mit/qjb <=**
% StaffTools: detached
[1] Done detach StaffTools
**=> m16-034-15:/mit/qjb <=**
%
Demonstration, anyone?
