Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix aborting capability scripts making them zombies processes
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 16:58:29 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1282053510-18102-1-git-send-email-luiz.dentz@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Luiz Augusto von Dentz <luiz.dentz-von@nokia.com>

When using G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD the watch cannot be removed since it
basically replaces the use of waitpid which does prevent the child
process to became 'zombie' when terminated, a more detailed explanation
can be found in waitpid manpage.
