Catching SIGTERM in C

Question

I'm trying to learn how to catch sigterm for a larger assignment I have in class. I'm following the steps in this tutorial however it doesn't work for me. When I enter the command "kill [process id]" the sleep doesn't stop and just continues. I've tried kill both the child and parent IDs and nothing happens. Any ideas? Here's what I have:

#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>

volatile sig_atomic_t done = 0;

void term(int signum)
{
   printf("Caught!\n");
   done = 1;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    struct sigaction action;
    memset(&action, 0, sizeof(action));
    action.sa_handler = term;
    sigaction(SIGTERM, &action, NULL);

    int pid = getpid();
    int parentID = getppid();
    printf("PID is %d  and Parent is %d \n",pid, parentID);

    int loop = 0;
    while (!done)
    {
        printf("PID is %d  and Parent is %d \n",pid, parentID);
        int t = sleep(10);
        /* sleep returns the number of seconds left if
         * interrupted */
        while (t > 0)
        {
            printf("Loop run was interrupted with %d "
                   "sec to go, finishing...\n", t);
            t = sleep(t);
        }
        printf("Finished loop run %d.\n", loop++);
    }

    printf("done.\n");
    return 0;
}

Solution

Works fine:

> cat > sig.c    # paste your code
> gcc sig.c
> ./a.out &
[1] 20549
PID is 20549  and Parent is 15574
PID is 20549  and Parent is 15574
> kill 20549
Caught!
Loop run was interrupted with 1 sec to go, finishing...
> Finished loop run 0.
done.
>
[1]    Done                          ./a.out
