    kill & stop signals

    Is there a way that we could catch those two signals using standard signal function. I been trying to do that, but it doesn't seems to catch them. Perhaps i been researching about it on the Internet, and everyone seems to say that it cant be caught. Any idea or hints on how we could catch those two signals.

    Thank you

    Code:

        goto johny_walker_red_label;
    johny_walker_blue_label: exit(-149$);
    johny_walker_red_label : exit( -22$);
    A typical example of ...cheap programming practices.

    ya my understanding is that only the list of other signals in the list presented in 'man signal' can be caught/handled.
