Title Interpreting telnetd QNX4 Syslog entries
Ref. No. QNX.000004880
Category(ies) Network
Issue Can you tell us what the following syslog entries mean (specifically, what the number after telnetd indictate/stands for and what the signal # means):

telnetd[91]: going down on signal 0 
telnetd[91]: going down on signal 18

Also, what does exit status 0x100 indicate

inetd[52]: /usr/ucb/nmbd: exit status 0x100




Solution > telnetd[91]: going down on signal 0 
> telnetd[91]: going down on signal 18

'telnetd' is performing a cleanup on exit. signal 0 means that telnetd is doing the closing on its own, and 18 (SIGCHILD) means the child (probably a sh) terminated so telnetd is terminating.


> inetd[52]: /usr/ucb/nmbd: exit status 0x100

This represents the stat_loc argument to waitpid(). In this case it returned 0x100. This indicates that the child process numbered has terminated normally and the exit status (exit()) was 1.
