depends on your application
if it catches the signal, it will continue to run. if not, it will be
terminated

root@0-tvgicsc1 137# grep -i quit /usr/include/sys/signal.h
#define SIGQUIT 3 /* (*) quit, generated from terminal special
char */

Subject: kill -3

Hi *,
            I am running WAS 3.5 on AIX 4.3.3,ML08. Since we were facing
poor response time issues, when we were asked to run a few command to
analyse the problem,i have run the command 'kill -3' which is supposed
to
dump a core file,and still the process should continue. But when i have
run
the command it has created the core file but even the process was
killed.
Can someone clarify what is the expected output when we run kill -3
command.

Also it would be great if some one can pass on some info on various kill
signals or kill optoins.

TIA
Praveen.K
