Is there any leaway for more robust error checking or a way to forcibly

Hi Jack,

Since qemu is being run from a parent shell script (runqemu), if qemu were to crash, I would think the parent shell script would continue on and destroy the tap device normally. Might you be killing the runqemu process instead of qemu itself?

I'm not sure if there is a way we could reliably force a cleanup of tap devices when runqemu starts, because we need to support the case where multiple instances of qemu sessions are running simultaneously (each with their own tap device). Off the top of my head I think this would make the state of tap devices non-deterministic.

Furthermore, we support a mode where an administrator can set up one or more tap devices, allowing the runqemu user to not need sudo privileges. So checking for the case where a tap device exists but no qemu process is running wouldn't work.

Ok, thank you for the information Scott. I think I found the issue today which is causing the QEmu script to terminate pre-maturely.

I am using the eclipse-poky master branch as my eclipse plugin and it threw an error today when I tried to debug - which coincided with the QEmu and terminal window terminating. The errror I recieved was:

Which looks like a CDT bug or the interfacing with CDT. I could file a bug report if you think it is related to the poky-eclipse plugin?

Cheers,
Jack.
