ЙI process #3

Closed yoav-lavi closed 5 years ago

yoav-lavi commented 5 years ago

Hi, I'm getting a process called "ЙI" with a few open handles. When looking at the handles themselves, they seem to be used by lsof, not "ЙI". Killing the process just causes it to reopen. It is not listed in ps aux by the specified ID. Is this a bug? or a rogue process on my machine? I'm assuming this is some issue with Sloth detecting itself, but I'd like to hear your input. Using version 2.6. I've also seen the same process named "z" after reopening Sloth, and upon reopening again it was gone (with lsof seemingly using the same handles).

Lsof (and, by extension, Sloth) should have no problem listing itself. Do you also get these weird processes when running /usr/bin/lsof from the command line? If it's behaviour in lsof itself, there's not much I can do about it.

Maybe #7 (commit ce4f25636eedee708d0eaf15744871c659b013b8) will fix this issue.
