Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • trap -p not displaying ignored signal when run from child bash command line
  • To reproduce the behaviour, run the following commands:
    $ trap '' SIGINT
    $ exec bash
    $ trap -p
  • The above should show SIGINT as an ignored signal, but it does not. The signal is however ignored.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
  • bash
