Perhaps this has been flagged or probably it is matter I don't
understand, but I am seeing some "defunct" process with ps command.
The following occurs on Cygwin64 (I don't have Cygwin32 any more).
Suppose I start mintty with the link created by its installation.
Suppose I create another mintty window with ALT-F2 from the first. ps shows:
$ ps
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
2648 1 2648 2648 ? 1001 12:01:38 /usr/bin/mintty
3724 2648 3724 2012 pty0 1001 12:01:38 /usr/bin/bash
1904 2648 2648 1760 ? 1001 12:01:41 /usr/bin/mintty
I 1604 1904 1604 768 pty1 1001 12:01:41 /usr/bin/bash
3776 3724 3776 2016 pty0 1001 12:02:03 /usr/bin/ps
ant its seems OK.
Suppose, now, I close the second mintty window (clicking the window "x"
button). ps shows:
$ ps
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
2648 1 2648 2648 ? 1001 12:01:38 /usr/bin/mintty
3724 2648 3724 2012 pty0 1001 12:01:38 /usr/bin/bash
3176 3724 3176 3832 pty0 1001 12:02:14 /usr/bin/ps
1904 2648 2648 1760 ? 1001 12:01:41
/usr/bin/mintty <defunct>
Why that "defunct" process? I don't remember having seen that before on
my old Cygwin32 installation.
Ciao,
Angelo.
