"Killed by signal 15" when using subversion
Last modified: 2007-10-10 23:44:01 MDT
On Ubuntu, svn sends a SIGTERM to the child process when it wants to close the connection. SSH traps this, treats it as an error and writes Killed by signal 15 to standard error. This is really annoying output. After discussing with Ted, we suspect that SIGTERM should continue to be trapped but instead interpreted as a legitimate way to terminate the session. That is, do the cleanup, send no error output, and exit success.
