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
