This also affects an out of repository Hadoop install. I found this issue but it did not solve the issue.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38419078/logouts-while-running- hadoop-under-ubuntu-16-04 Replacing /bin/kill with the binary from 14.04 LTS solved the issue for me. I am uncomfortable with the workaround, I will have to revert these systems to 14.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1610499 Title: /bin/kill in ubuntu16.04 has bug in killing process group Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The /bin/kill in ubuntu16.04 has a bug , it has bug in killing process group . Ubuntu version is: Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 (1)The way to repeat this bug It is easy to repeat this bug , run “/bin/kill -15 -12345” or any like “/bin/kill -15 -1xxxx” in ubuntu16.04 , it will kill all the process . (2)Cause analysis The code of /bin/kill in ubuntu16.04 come from procps-3.3.10 , when I run “/bin/kill -15 -1xxxx” , it actually send signal 15 to -1 , -1 mean it will kill all the process . (3)The bug in procps-3.3.10/skill.c ,I think the code "pid = (long)('0' - optopt) " is not right . static void __attribute__ ((__noreturn__)) kill_main(int argc, char **argv) { case '?': if (!isdigit(optopt)) { xwarnx(_("invalid argument %c"), optopt); kill_usage(stderr); } else { /* Special case for signal digit negative * PIDs */ pid = (long)('0' - optopt); if (kill((pid_t)pid, signo) != 0) exitvalue = EXIT_FAILURE; exit(exitvalue); } loop=0; } (4) The way to workaround I copy /bin/kill in ubuntu14.04 to override /bin/kill in ubuntu16.04, it is ok in this way .
