inetd: xxxxxx Died on signal 13

[Lucien Wolfs]

Hi,

In the syslog there's a mention of my program xxxxxx that seemed to have received a signal. (????)
I didnot sent any signal to the process.
What is/can be the problem ?

THANKS!

The error in syslog reports a process died with a certain error code (signal). It doesnt means someone sent a signal/kill to it. The 13 indicates the error message;

grep 13 /usr/include/sys/errno.h

which gives;

#define EACCES 13 /* Permission denied */

Which means the process attempt to access something it didnt have permission to, and thus is died or reported it to syslog.
