The defunct process is actually either A) a dns helper b) a previous dead netscape process It doesn't really have anything to do with the wrapper. How do you explain then the fact that the <defunct> process shows up *ONLY* when starting netscape through the wrapper? I just tried it again, I started Netscape directly and actively used it for a while to rule out the DNS process, after using it for about 15 min. there is still no <defunct> process. I quit, checked ps again, no sign of any running Netscape at all, then started Netscape using the wrapper, the <defunct> process showed up right away. Hm, this appears to be a bug in WindowMaker's docking; it's expecting the PID that it launched to stay running, but since the shell script actually executes netscape, it's not being watched correctly. But the shell script 'exec's netscape. hmm. I dont think that this can be called a bug in WindowMaker. What possible behaviour could it have than to wait on the process? Should it wait on the process's children; which one? |
