How to trigger a command after named pipe closes?

How can I execute some command after the named pipe has been readout in other end. I was trying to use trap. But nothing happens. My script is something like below.



#!/bin/sh

cleanup()

echo "Caught Signal ... cleaning up the background process."


trap cleanup PIPE

if [ ! -p "/tmp/mysqld.init" ]; then
mkfifo /tmp/mysqld.init
fi

echo "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS test;" > /tmp/mysqld.init &

exec mysqld --init-file="/tmp/mysqld.init"


Note: This is my docker image's entrypoint script and exec is necessary in my case.

  • If the exec is successful, the shell will no longer exist, so there's no way for the shell to write to a closed pipe and no way the trap body would run. What do you want to do after the pipe has been read?

  • I am not sure what do you mean by shell will no longer exist. But in my case as I am creating a docker image mysqld runs as pid 1 for ever. I just want to close the child/background process after the pipe has been read.
