In my example the dash process still exists until both sleeps have been
finished. I have written a small testcase in C to check if its an
applications fault if there are zombie processes:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
FILE *pipe;
if((pipe = popen("echo", "r")) == 0)
{
}
/*pclose(pipe);*/
usleep(100000000);
return 0;
}
This example will cause sh to get a zombie process if echo has finished
until the main application finishes. But if I'm uncommenting
/*pclose(pipe);*/ the zombie process will successfully clean up. So I'm
assuming its the fault of the parent process if there are zombie
processes because it isn't closing the related file descriptor.
