https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33898 Bug ID: 33898 Summary: background_jobs_worker.pl may leave defunct children processes for extended periods of time Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P5 - low Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: kyle@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org It appears that the background jobs worker can leave defunct processes for periods of time. Though it is mostly harmless, it would be nice if that did not happen. Children are reaped automatically when start or wait_all_children are called. We only call start when a new job is found, and wait_all_children after exiting our while loop. The solution is to simply call reap_all_children after we sleep. This is a non-blocking call that will clean up those defunct processes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
