execute() does not return if executed process spawned other processes ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: EXEC-59 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXEC-59 Project: Commons Exec Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.1 Environment: Linux x86_64 Reporter: David Tombs Priority: Minor When executing a process that spawns other processes, DefaultExecutor.execute() does not return until these secondary processes die. This is a problem for me because I am executing a long-running service that uses long-running helper processes. I want to know if the service process crashes (which leaves the helper processes running), but I never get any notice because execute() does not return. It blocks while calling PumpStreamHandler.stop(). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
