Tiny Core Base > TCB Bugs

Closing SSH session with tce-ab open uses 99% CPU.

(1/1)

code:
If you SSH into TinyCore and then run tce-ab and then press enter ~ . to close the SSH session, tce-ab will have init as a parent and use 100% CPU.

If you do it again the two will each use 50% of the CPU.

curaga:
I don't think this is a bug. When a parent (shell in this case) dies, there is no signal sent to its children. Any other program, not just tce-ab, would continue running and get reparented to init.

If you close the shell like that, forcing it instead of a normal logout/exit, you should expect such from all programs.

code:
Okay.

Any idea why it starts to use 100% CPU though? Normally it uses 0% CPU.

curaga:
It runs a read loop, and read returns immediately if the pty disappears, I believe.

neonix:
I have the same problem but without SSH, in normal desktop.

When I type (using aterm)

--- Code: ---tce
s
mc (for example)
q
i

--- End code ---
Now, I have to press q to quit the program in correct way, but instead of this I close aterm and tce still run in background and consume all CPU power in 1 of my 2 cores. In the past I was not aware of that and my system slow down without a reason. I had to check what's going on using top command.

This bug occur in many versions of TC for years. Maybe there is simply workaround that kill the process if it's not closed properly?
