Hi everybody
I've observed the following situation:
root 490 0.0 0.0 13004 1596 ? S Nov05 0:00 s6-supervise
lxe
root 2738 0.6 0.0 0 0 ? Zsl Nov05 251:13 [lxe]
<defunct>
So you see a zombie process. What is the expected behaviour of
s6-supervise here? I would expect, that this case is solved immediatly
by s6-supervise and a new process is spawned.
The observed behaviour was, that no new process was spawned and even
s6-svc -r didn't respawn a process.
Hi Oli,
There is no indication that the zombie lxe process is a direct child
of s6-supervise. What does 's6-svstat /run/service/lxe' say?
If that lxe process was s6-supervise's child, s6-supervise should
definitely reap the zombie immediately and spawn a new lxe process;
failing to do so would be a bug that has, to my knowledge, never
happened. There is definitely something else at play here.
