Hi all,
Got some question concerning fork and signal in gnome-python
applications:
is there anything special which should be considered ? I made some app
which installs a sigchld handler and does some forking:
def SigChldHandler(signal_number, stack_frame):
signal.signal(signal.SIGCHLD, SigChldHandler)
result = os.wait()
class Application:
def __init__(self):
signal.signal(signal.SIGCHLD, SigChldHandler)
def run(self, args):
result = os.fork()
if (result == 0):
os.execv("/usr/bin/env", ["/usr/bin/env", command])
so the problem with that code is, that the sigchldhandler is
executed when the next program is started / forked ... that means
that there are always some zombie processes around ... any
idea someone ?
