I'm curious why it's needed though. waitpid(WNOHANG) returns 0 when "there are no stopped or exited children". Since we call it always after kill_proc() maybe it's a timing issue: we call waitpid(WNOHANG) before the signal is handled and the other process exits? > diff 6221bdf771a3f2638d2aca0a58162261424f2ca6 2a511b1a88651c9b58f9390624dc29312b627b5e > commit - 6221bdf771a3f2638d2aca0a58162261424f2ca6 > commit + 2a511b1a88651c9b58f9390624dc29312b627b5e > blob - 86f2b6013f0c53e31f8adbc89cd954b062c2ee0b > blob + c74da7c7b48e76509e16e1ed0428b5e9b6d53251 > --- gotd/gotd.c > +++ gotd/gotd.c > @@ -276,15 +276,15 @@ wait_for_child(pid_t child_pid) > (long)child_pid); > > do { > - pid = waitpid(child_pid, &status, WNOHANG); > + pid = waitpid(child_pid, &status, 0); > if (pid == -1) { > - if (errno != EINTR && errno != ECHILD) > - fatal("wait"); > + if (errno != EINTR) > + fatal("waitpid"); > } else if (WIFSIGNALED(status)) { > log_warnx("child PID %ld terminated; signal %d", > (long)pid, WTERMSIG(status)); > } > - } while (pid != -1 || (pid == -1 && errno == EINTR)); > + } while (pid == -1 && errno == EINTR); > } > > static void
