Always runs with process named as "AppRun" #477

Open Pramod-Devireddy opened 3 years ago

Pramod-Devireddy commented 3 years ago

Hi, I tried to use linuxdeployqt for creating static qt applications without any dependencies. But when the final app (app_name-x86_64.AppImage) is executed, it always runs with the process name "AppRun".

I tried renaming and executed the app. But still, the process name doesn't change. The process name should be different to identify for getting stats or force kill a particular application. But when different applications are running with the same process name, it is very difficult to manage these apps.

What are you using as your AppRun file/symlink? If you are using a script that execs the main payload, then the main payload should show up in ps as the process name.

Hi @probonopd , thanks for replying back. It seems that AppRun is created as a symlink during the process. Please go through the following:

I am running the linuxdeployqt as ../linuxdeployqt-7-x86_64.AppImage app_name -appimage

Console Prints:

When the executable app_name-x86_64.AppImage is executed simply as ./app_name-x86_64.AppImage

The app started as expected but it is creating two processes

  1. AppRun
  2. app_name-x86_64

But the process with the name app_name-x86_64 is looking like some dummy process. Because there is no change in CPU or memory (always 0%) when some action is done in the application. Only AppRun is responding to any actions or computations performed in the app. Even if app_name-x86_64 is force killed, the application still runs normally. But when AppRun is killed the application gets terminated.

It seems that AppRun is created as a symlink during the process.

Correct. You'd need to delete that symlink and replace it with something that execs your main payload application. I know no other way to make this work as intended.
