Hi! I’m still getting zombie processes with erlexec and nothing that I do seems to be able to resolve this. Firstly, i’m on linux. Secondly, i can’t use muontrap, since I need to stream input and output into the other process.

Here’s the code:

  #... Genserver Headers
  def init(_) do
    :erlexec.run_link("priv/forever.sh", [:stderr, :stdout, :kill_group])
    #...

forever.sh

#!/bin/bash

while true; do
  sleep 1
end

Control-c/a definitely creates a zombie (I think the GenServer doesn’t even get the stop message), and even System.stop(0) creates a zombie.

I’m free to put anything in the top of the forever script, so if I can use that to, maybe set the process group or a job, I can definitely do that, but I’m not familiar enough with linux to know if that makes sense. thanks

Thanks in advance.
