execute() does not return if executed process spawned other processes
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: EXEC-59
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXEC-59
Project: Commons Exec
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.1
Environment: Linux x86_64
Reporter: David Tombs
Priority: Minor
When executing a process that spawns other processes, DefaultExecutor.execute()
does not return until these secondary processes die.
This is a problem for me because I am executing a long-running service that
uses long-running helper processes. I want to know if the service process
crashes (which leaves the helper processes running), but I never get any notice
because execute() does not return. It blocks while calling
PumpStreamHandler.stop().
