Andrew,

Here's the sample "sig.c". Just compile with "cc sig.c"



#include <signal.h>	/* signal */
#include <stdio.h>	/* printf */

void action(int signum);

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int i;
	for(i = 1; i < 31; i++) {
		if(i == 9 || i == 19)
			continue;

		signal(i, action);
	}
}

void action(int signum)
{
	printf("%d\n", signum);
}




Here's output of "gcc -H sig.c" gcc 2.95.3  glibc 2.2.5  linux 2.6.3-rc2
