Re: Bash 4.3 no longer handles traps when reading input with read

[konsolebox]

Sorry I accidentally sent the message immediately. I use this script:

catcher() {
        echo caught.
}
set -o monitor
trap catcher SIGCHLD
for (( ;; )); do
        echo sleeping.
        sleep 2s &
        echo reading.
        read -t 5
        echo ------
        echo waiting.
        wait
done

And the trap is always called every after 5 seconds when input already
times out:

sleeping.
reading.
caught.
------
waiting.
sleeping.
reading.
caught.
------
waiting.
sleeping.
reading.
...

Cheers, konsolebox
