I was curious to see if this also occurred with the Fedora package, so I build a Fedora 29 server VM for testing. I used exactly the same test case and got exactly the same results, using the packaged incron from Fedora's repositories causes a zombie process to be left after processing each filesystem event. I have not tried building from source on the test system yet. From my point of view, this is a 0.5.12 issue (I'm also seeing massive memory leaks with 0.5.12 that did not exist with an identical configuration at 0.5.10). We are having this problem too on production systems. After enough time and incron actions, it actually causes system issues. Please back out this version for the time-being as it is clearly unstable. I think that's the prudent thing to do until the package can be tested more. Delays are only going to lead to more people having issues. Can you all please try this scratch build and see if the problem is fixed: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=31840653 If that looks good, I will push an update (for epel7 and f29/f28 as the fix applies to them all) Everything looks good for me. No more defunct process Works good for me on CentOS7 as well! had the same issue, thanks for fixing this :) incron-0.5.12-9.fc29 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 29. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-bbc0a2c14a incron-0.5.12-9.el7 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 7. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2019-60b62db475 incron-0.5.12-9.fc28 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 28. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-75bfa8d4a2 incron-0.5.12-9.fc28 has been pushed to the Fedora 28 testing repository.

You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-bbc0a2c14a I have installed incron-0.5.12-9.el7 from testing on one of the systems where the problem originally occurred. After a couple of hours of testing I have seen no defunct processes. I have tested both user and system incrontabs and so far have not seen any issues. Yes, I'm hitting this too -- I've installed the update and will test. incron-0.5.12-9.fc28 has been pushed to the Fedora 28 stable repository.
