David Tombs commented on EXEC-59:
---------------------------------

Hi Siegried. No, that's not really possible in my case. I'm working on some code that needs to make as little assumptions as possible about the executed process. I think this bug should be fixable. As I said in the description, I think it's due to a bad assumption in PumpStreamHandler.stop() or nearby.

> When executing a process that spawns other processes, DefaultExecutor.execute() does not return until these secondary processes die.
> This is a problem for me because I am executing a long-running service that uses long-running helper processes. I want to know if the service process crashes (which leaves the helper processes running), but I never get any notice because execute() does not return. It blocks while calling PumpStreamHandler.stop().
