[AGENT++] Signal Handling in agent++

[Ramasubramanian Venkataraman]

Hi,

Below is the sample signal handling code given in the agent.cpp. I have added HUP signal case to read the config file. But what happend is for every 2nd time the agent process is restarts. Even with the simple cout in the HUPSignal cases restarts the process when we give the HUP signal 2nd time.

Im not sure whether you handle the Blocking unblocking of signal somehwere. Could you please throw some idea to resolve this issue.

Here is the complete trace output of agent process.

1st time the HUP signal is give to the process:
===================================

2nd Time when we give the same hup signal with an error ( Err#4 EINTR)
===============================
