Title: Re: [Sipp-users] sipp defunct processes

Marc,

 

The fix works by spawning a child then the child immediately spawning another child (ch#2) that ch#2 will do the actual work. Parent waits for ch#1 which returns immediately so no blocking occurs there. After ch#2’s parent exits its new parent becomes system ‘init’ process which will properly reap it once completed.

 

The above might sound confusing but that is how it works (dark corners of UNIX legacy). I faced the same problem and made this fix for myself a few months ago and have been happy with it ever since. Several people are using sipp here. I had a real trouble submitting a message to the forum because it uses very strong anti-spam (Sender Call Out).

 

Best Regards,

Vlad

Olivier,

As I won't have time until somewhere in November to try this out, you'll have to wait a bit for my feedback.
But if I read the code example in the mail correctly, I have the impression that the parent waits for the child immediately, which will block it until the child has finished. It would be sufficient for what I plan now (send out an snmp trap), but not if the child gets some more work to do. Of course, you don't have any defuncts this way.

But, as said before, I'll test it somewhere in November,

  Best regards,
