Well, it was started from a "start script", have no tty attached and
it *shouldn't* be interactive. But it seems in QNX 6.3.2 /bin/sh is a
ksh by default and it runs in interactive mode no matters what
(although then I found the +i option, but I didn't try it)

I just changed it to bash and that made the trick (since it didn't run
in interactive mode). Although I don't fully understand how this
solved it, since the signal that was sent to the process was a SIGTERM
(in the "production" environment, not in my simple tests)


Anyways, it seems to be solved :)





Thanks a lot for your help,
