Cannot capture SIGPIPE

oh i m sorry for my earlier mail...
i tried sending PIPE instead SIGPIPE...its the same thing happening...both SIGPIPE and PIPE work fine..the process is catching the signal and going to back_to_work and prints the "Not Quitting" message.

Regards,
Romesh

Subject: Cannot capture SIGPIPE

Hi All,
I have a server program which connect to clients c1 and c2. The server reads from c1 and writes to c2. Whenever c2 dies(or is killed) I get a SIGPIPE at the server. I have tried to capture the SIGPIPE but cant trap it. Some part of my code is as follows:

<code>
void cleanup (int x) { printf ("Quitting..."); exit(0); } void back_to_work (int x) { printf ("Not Quitting..."); return; }

main ()

{
	signal (SIGINT, cleanup);
	signal (SIGPIPE, back_to_work);

	//rest of the program
}

</code>

The server is in a infinite loop. The server cannot capture a SIGPIPE given to it by the kill command (kill -PIPE <server pid>) also. Am I missing out anything?? Please help.

Thanks,
Parvez
