The answer is it depends. See section 2.8.2 of the MPI-1.1
(http://www.mpi-forum.org/) standard for notes on using POSIX signals
in MPI applications. With LAM, it is not possible to use MPI inside a
signal handler.
As for actually using POSIX signals, I would recommend seeing the
signal(3) and sigaction(2) man pages.
