I have found a command which will cause a process to turn into a zombie process:
dash -c '(sleep 3 & sleep 6)' If "sleep 3" finishes it will turn into a zombie process and only close if "sleep 6" finishes. With bash all is working fine (but bash is creating "bash -c (sleep 3 & sleep 6)" 2 times) but the most applications are using sh (which is a symlink to dash). ** Package changed: bash (Ubuntu) => dash (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/915158 Title: Process is not closing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/915158/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
