Zombies will _always_ be observable, even if you try to reap immediately.
Of course. I used "observable" in the broad sense, meaning there is a nonzero amount of time where init is not runnable, won't be scheduled, and won't immediately reap zombies. This makes zombie observation literally millions of times more likely than when there's no blocking path between the moment it gets a SIGCHLD and the moment it reaps the zombie. :) -- Laurent _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
