Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I'm running Executor/Linux 1.99q on my FreeBSD (2.1R) box, using FreeBSD's Linux compatibility module. When I quit Executor, the processes do not die (i.e. they still remain running or maybe zombied -- I can't tell). For example: ncc-1701-d:24% ps aux | grep -i execu d_burr 18876 95.2 0.1 0 0 v0 Z - 0:00.00 (executor) d_burr 522 86.2 0.1 0 0 v0 Z - 0:00.00 (executor) d_burr 464 80.8 0.1 0 0 v0 Z - 0:00.00 (executor) d_burr 396 64.8 0.1 0 0 v0 Z - 0:00.00 (executor) d_burr 325 45.4 0.1 0 0 v0 Z - 0:00.00 (executor) d_burr 324 0.0 0.0 4828 0 v0 IW 12:31AM 0:00.26 executor d_burr 395 0.0 0.0 4828 0 v0 IW 12:38AM 0:00.20 executor d_burr 463 0.0 0.0 4828 0 v0 IW 12:42AM 0:00.19 executor d_burr 521 0.0 0.0 4828 36 v0 IW 12:49AM 0:00.19 executor d_burr 18875 0.0 0.0 4828 292 v0 IW 1:22AM 0:00.22 executor I'm not quite sure where to point the proverbial finger here. Is this a FreeBSD bug, a Linux emulator bug, an Executor bug, or some bizarre combination? Any ideas on if it's fixable, or how to fix it? or if it will be fixed? I'd also like to put in a vote to the ARDI folks to get a FreeBSD-native version of Executor going -- it would fix little things like this (and maybe not so little things) and run much faster. Barring that, please continue to support the Linux a.out format -- FreeBSD probably won't be supporting ELF for a very long time, if at all. Thanks!
