Petr,
Is there a correct way to exit out of fldigi once i'm done using it? I ask this as i am finding defunct processes hanging around after i exit out of fldigi when running it in remote mode. See example below:
osiel@Plutonium ~ $ ps -efa|grep fldigiosiel 13460 12842 0 14:53 ? 00:00:06 [fldigi] <defunct>osiel 13577 12842 2 15:10 ? 00:08:05 [fldigi] <defunct>osiel 15226 12842 3 18:42 ? 00:06:29 [fldigi] <defunct>osiel 15882 15869 0 21:35 pts/3 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto fldigi
I've tried to exit fldigi first, the stop the "remote mode for fldigi", I've also tried stopping the "remote mode" first, then shutting down fldigi, but either way, i still get the defunct processes.

Remote mode for FLDIGI
Hi,
very strange. I thought tat close fldigi is correct way to close it completely. I added the communication with fldigi long time a go but I don't use it at all, I'm CW guy and not interested in digi modes.

I understand.. so, i guess the defunct processes are not what should be happening.
No problem here. Works great. Put cqrlog in fldigi mode. Work stations. When done. Shut down fldigi. And get cqrlog out of fldigi mode. All works great. Tom K8WDX

Tom, do you manually start fldigi after going into fldigi remote mode or do you let CQRLog start fldigi for you?
After running 2 tests, If i disable the "Run fldidi after entering to Remote Mode" option, then i select File -> Remote mode for fldigi, manually start fldigi, work station, close fldigi, uncheck File -> Remote mode for fldigi, the fldigi process goes away without leaving anything behind. See below:
osiel@Plutonium ~ $ ps -efa|grep fldigiosiel 28635 28622 0 21:28 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto fldigiosiel@Plutonium ~ $ ps -efa|grep fldigiosiel 28637 28622 0 21:28 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto fldigiosiel@Plutonium ~ $ ps -efa|grep fldigiosiel 28644 1 9 21:29 ? 00:00:00 fldigiosiel 28689 28622 0 21:29 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto fldigiosiel@Plutonium ~ $ ps -efa|grep fldigiosiel 28692 28622 0 21:29 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto fldigi
If i enable "Run fldigi after entering to Remote mode", then i select File -> Remote mode for fldigi, let CQRLog start fldigi, work station, close fldigi, uncheck File -> Remote mode for fldigi, the fldigi process goes defunct. See below:
osiel@Plutonium ~ $ ps -efa|grep fldigiosiel 28694 28622 0 21:29 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto fldigiosiel@Plutonium ~ $ ps -efa|grep fldigiosiel 28695 22139 9 21:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/fldigiosiel 28740 28622 0 21:29 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto fldigiosiel@Plutonium ~ $ ps -efa|grep fldigiosiel 28695 22139 5 21:29 ? 00:00:01 [fldigi] <defunct>osiel 28748 28622 0 21:30 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto fldigiosiel@Plutonium ~ $
This can't be normal or i'm doing something wrong.
My linux version is Linux Mint Trusty Tahr
osiel@Plutonium /etc $ cat os-releaseNAME="Ubuntu"VERSION="14.04, Trusty Tahr"ID=ubuntuID_LIKE=debianPRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04 LTS"VERSION_ID="14.04"HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/"SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/"BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
As the defunct processes continue to increment with every restart of fldigi, the easiest way to make the defunct processes to go away is to recycle CQRLog. This tells me that something isn't being killed/closed properly.
