Jie Yu commented on MESOS-2462: ------------------------------- One solution is to force 'du' and 'perf' to use the argv version of the subprocess and assume that they are under /usr/bin I checked a few distributions (e.g. osx, ubuntu, centos, fedora), that's the case for all of them. > Add option for Subprocess to set a death signal for the forked child > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MESOS-2462 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-2462 > Project: Mesos > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: isolation > Affects Versions: 0.21.1 > Reporter: Ian Downes > Assignee: Jie Yu > Priority: Minor > Labels: twitter > > Currently, children forked by the slave, including those through Subprocess, > will continue running if the slave exits. For some processes, including > helper processes like the fetcher, du, or perf, we'd like them to be > terminated when the slave exits. > Add support to Subprocess to optionally set a DEATHSIG for the child, e.g., > setting SIGTERM would mean the child would get SIGTERM when the slave > terminates. > This can be done (*after forking*) with PR_SET_DEATHSIG. See "man prctl". It > is preserved through an exec call. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
