Public bug reported:
Hello, we see tmpreaper children still running after its parent exits due to
hitting the --runtime arg limit, but expect them to exit along with the parent:
CMD=/usr/sbin/tmpreaper --protect hsperfdata*/* --runtime=300 --ctime 15d /tmp/
DURATION=300.06secs
OUTPUT=
error: run time exceeded!
This may be indicative of an attack to use tmpreaper to remove critical files;
or the directories to clean up are excessive large and/or messed up.
Please investigate.
