Two 'wifibox start' processes #36

Closed mkohanim closed 2 years ago

mkohanim commented 2 years ago

Hi Gábor,

Is there any reason why there are 2 x 'wifibox start' processes?

With kind regards, Michel

That is because the wifibox script launches programs, e.g. bhyve while reading and saving their outputs. That is why it has to fork: one instance waits for the program in question to terminate and the other instance processes the generated output line by line (even if logging is disabled). Hence it is an expected behavior.

Thank you for the explanation.
