That is not surprising to me. To provide maximal flexibility, puppet does
not do any management or cleanup of processes started. As an exercise, try
to define a parameter to exec that specifies how puppet should cleanup
processes after exec: as soon as the exec returns? when the agent run ends?
everything in the control group, or just non-detached processes?
Better to use a proper/any process manager (systemd, init, runit, upstart)
that was purpose built to solve those problems.
