ID: 39992 Comment by: mast at imast dot ru Reported by: nlop...@php.net Summary: proc_terminate() leaves children of child running Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Program Execution Operating System: linux PHP Version: 6CVS-2006-12-30 (CVS) New Comment: Well I've also just found this problem. I run sh script via proc_open and if this script runs child processes that could hang, they will not be killed if you run proc_terminate(). To fix it I use: // As soon proc is started $status = proc_get_status($proc); posix_setpgid($status['pid'], $status['pid']); // When I need to kill it posix_kill(-$status['pid'], 9); // sends SIGKILL to all processes inside group proc_close($proc); Why not to add this into proc_terminate() implementation?

(the java process starts as root and forks itself to another userid) the 'sh' gets killed but our java process keeps on running ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-12 22:03:45] nlop...@php.net Yes, I'm still able to reproduce it. In some systems you may need higher proviledges in order to reproduce this bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-12 16:28:58] j...@php.net Nuno, is this still valid bug? I can't reproduce it even with PHP 5.2.6.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-30 15:54:27] nlop...@php.net Ah I forgot: removing the "2>&1" part everything works fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-30 15:52:20] nlop...@php.net Description: ------------ With the short reproduce code below, PHP fork()s a new process (sh), that itself forks a new one (php). proc_terminate() kill()s the sh process, but the php one doesn't get killed. I'm not really sure what is causing this problem, but it is breaking run-tests.php on timeout. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $cmd='php -r "while(1){}" 2>&1'; $proc = proc_open($cmd, array(), $pipes); var_dump(proc_terminate($proc)); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39992&edit=1
