Jim Warner 9f4e72b208 top: do not catch SIGHUP, when operating in batch mode
This commit was adapted from the openSUSE patch, whose
original comments appear between the --- marker below.

It should be noted, however, that the original changes
were ineffective (wasted) because 'Batch' mode had not
yet been set when signals were being checked and their
handlers established. Thus, SIGHUP was never bypassed.

(of course, only our comments are perfectly justified)

------------------------------------------------------
Do not setup SIGHUP signal handler if we are in the batch mode

Top enables a signal handler for the SIGHUP signal (loss of terminal).  While
this makes sense for top's default interactive mode, it doesn't make any sense
for batch mode. If you run top in nohup just to collect data over time and
disconnect top finishes which is not what one would expect.

COMPATIBILITY

    This code is intended for use with Linux 2.6.xx, 3.x and
    hopefully all future kernels.

INSTALLATION

    If you are using git version of the project you need extra step.

    ./autogen.sh

    After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can
    do normal build.  Read './configure --help' to select options for
    your needs.

    ./configure
    make
    make install

    If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite.

    make check

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE

    See Documentation/BUGS file.

PACKAGING

    If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
    distribution, please avoid causing troubles.  This section
    applies to you.

    Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches.  Send your
    patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
    included.

    Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
    busy enough to bother with, please make this known.  Follow
    Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
    email without need for an account.

    For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
    to the CFLAGS variable.
