Tibor Digana commented on SUREFIRE-1422:
----------------------------------------

[~larry_west]
Of course because the Version 2.19.1 did not use native calls and therefore the 
old version hanged next 20 seconds after the Maven process was killed. Pls 
checkit out with the snapshot version 2.21.0-SNAPSHOT I mentioned in my 
previous comment.

> Hi,
> With the changes introduced by SUREFIRE-1302 I'm now experiencing a failure 
> on Linux when the fork mode is enabled:
> {code}
> [ERROR] Failed to execute goal 
> org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.20.1:test (default-test) on 
> project foo: There are test failures.
> [ERROR]
> [ERROR] Please refer to /foo/target/surefire-reports for the individual test 
> results.
> [ERROR] Please refer to dump files (if any exist) [date]-jvmRun[N].dump, 
> [date].dumpstream and [date]-jvmRun[N].dumpstream.
> [ERROR] The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye. VM crash or 
> System.exit called?
> {code}
> I traced the issue back to the PpidChecker class, the code assumes that 
> {{/bin/ps}} or {{/usr/bin/ps}} exist but this isn't guaranteed (especially on 
> trimmed down containers commonly used for continuous integration).
> It would be nice to have a fallback mechanism when ps isn't available, or at 
> least check its existence and display an explicit message stating that it 
> must be installed.
