`softwareupdater` self-daemonizing is memory inefficient #55

Open aaaaalbert opened 9 years ago

aaaaalbert commented 9 years ago

softwareupdater.py uses SeattleTestbed/nodemanager's daemon.py library to put itself in the background and detach from the launching terminal (if any) via fork().

See SeattleTestbed/nodemanager#117 for a discussion of memory consumption and a suggested alternative.
