[Bug 936332] Re: zombie python
Martin, yes, I'd imagine there a a lot of apps doing this.. It's pretty easy to create zombie process entries with python's subprocess module. I've opted to double fork with GLib.spawn_async() in onboard 0.97.1 instead.

[Bug 936332] Re: zombie python
The same thing happens with Guake. It uses a python process and creates another one (the zombie process). I've included a screenshot of the system monitor to show this. ** Attachment added: Screenshot from 2012-04-28 13:10:27.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/936332/+attachment/3113457/+files/Screenshot%20from%202012-04-28%2013%3A10%3A27.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/936332 Title: zombie python To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/onboard/+bug/936332/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 936332] Re: zombie python
Thanks for the bug report. I can reproduce this in Precise too. Every time I press the preferences button another process entry is added and zombiefied when closing preferences. All zombie processes then go away once onboard itself exits. I'll see if I can do anything about this, though I don't believe they can cause problems. The processes are gone and their resources have been freed, only the entries in the process table seem stuck. ** Changed in: onboard (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Also affects: onboard Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: onboard Status: New = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/936332 Title: zombie python To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/onboard/+bug/936332/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
