CompTIA Linux+ XK0-006 (V8) Practice Question

While logged into a Bash shell on a Linux server, you start a large copy operation in the foreground:

$ cp -av /media/usb/ /srv/data/

Realizing you chose the wrong destination, you press Ctrl + c in the same terminal. The copy stops immediately and the prompt returns. According to POSIX signal behavior, which signal did the terminal send to the cp process and what is that signal's default action?

  • SIGTSTP (signal 20) - suspend (stop) the process

  • SIGQUIT (signal 3) - terminate the process and create a core dump

  • SIGTERM (signal 15) - request the process to terminate gracefully

  • SIGINT (signal 2) - terminate the process
