Sigaction for signal failed : error (errno/errnojr)

Explanation

The FTP server encountered an error while attempting to setup the signal handler for the signal specified by signal. If the signal handler is not correctly enabled, the server will continue processing, but certain functions controlled by the failing signal will not function properly. Functions controlled by the signals are:
SIGABND
handler controls error reporting and cleanup functions when an abend occurs. If sigaction fails for SIGABND and an abend occurs, trace information about the abend will be lost and certain resources might not be properly cleaned up.
SIGCHLD
handler controls cleanup of zombie processes when a client connection is ended. If sigaction fails for SIGCHLD, zombie processes will not be cleaned up when a client connection is ended.
SIGTERM
handler controls cleanup of resources during termination. If sigaction fails for SIGTERM, the FTP server will not be cleanly terminated when an MVS™ operator STOP command is issued or when the server process is killed.
SIGURG
handler controls the processing of Out of Band data, such as the ABOR subcommand. IF sigaction fails for SIGURG, OOB data will not be received or processed by the server.

error is the error returned by the C run-time library for the failing sigaction() call.

errno is the UNIX System Services return code. These return codes are listed and described in the return codes (errnos) information in z/OS UNIX System Services Messages and Codes.

errnojr is the hexadecimal UNIX System Services reason code. The format of the 4-byte reason code is explained in the introduction to the reason codes (Errnojrs) chapter of the z/OS UNIX System Services Messages and Codes, where the reason codes are listed.
