Hi, I have been meddling around with forking and multiprocessing. Now both of them spawn new processes from parent (atleast from what I have understood). I have been able to reproduce a zombie state in a fork with:
import os,time print('before fork',os.getpid()) pid = os.fork() if pid: print('child: ',pid) time.sleep(120) Now doing a ps ax | grep <pid> I can find a zombie child process, but I am not being able to reproduce the same with multiprocessing. Am I missing something? Or multiprocessing does not have the zombie problem? Regards, Nav -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
