Hi,
The new forked shell is defunct, that is correct.
The defunct stays so forever. The program ends but the defunct process
does not, as you said.
After doing this 4 times (my number of children) ser stops responding
to any new messages.
Best,
Dimo

openser should not hang. '&' make the shell to fork a new openser
process to execute the command, and that becomes defunct when the
command execution ends.

Apart of defunct process, does the execution of the command ends? Could
openser still process new messages?
