** Description changed: At random occasions, pstree returns "/proc/xxxx: No such file or directory" on stderr. No output on stdout is produced. I can reproduce the problem using this script: #!/bin/bash for i in $(seq 1 1000); do - unset p - p=$(pstree -s -A $$ 2>/dev/null) - if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then - p=$(pstree -s -A $$ 2>/dev/null) - echo "Retry: $p" - fi - sleep 0.02 + unset p + p=$(pstree -s -A $$ 2>/dev/null) + if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then + p=$(pstree -s -A $$ 2>/dev/null) + echo "Retry: $p" + fi + sleep 0.02 done I have seen this behavior in version 22.15 (shipped with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, package version 22.15-2ubuntu1.2). The problem does not seem to occur on version 22.21 (shipped with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS).
