    I believe the defunct/zombie processes will only be purged when the owning process 7833 (fr24feed) exits, dies or gets killed - difficult to get rid of otherwise.

    I don't have access to my Pi presently to see if this is happening to me

    See the response in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9...y-shell-script (suggests it might be a [harmless?] bug in the feeder)

    I have fr24feed_arm_le_241s running on my RPi and all appears sweet and dandy except thaI am left with a defunct child process every 10 minutes. If I do a ps -ef I get this:

    Code:
    pi        7833     1  0 Mar09 ?        00:19:01 /home/pi/modesmixer2/fr24feed_arm-le_241s --fr24key=416c0c6d1b30f4f2

    pi        8222  7833  0 Mar09 ?        00:00:00 [bash] <defunct>
    I start the feed from a bash script which looks like this:

    Code:
    sleep 10
    export FR24AUTHIP=83.140.247.20
    /home/pi/modesmixer2/fr24feed_arm-le_241s --fr24key=416c0c6d1b30f4f2 --bs-ip=192.168.1.5 --bs-port=30003 > /dev/null &
    so after a 10 second wait while my modesmixer2 decoding programme starts the script starts the feed.

    Does anyone have an idea why all these child processes?

    Just another piece of software out the which also works on the Pi - ModeSDeco. What is also cool is that you can specify the dongle to use by selecting it's index. I have an idea of running 2 dongles on the Pi (different antennas) and then outputting to a single source

    What I am really liking is that there is also a modesmixer which can combine sources and feed to a single output.

    Jeez peterhr, I would give what to get my antenna on top of THAT little mountain!!!!

    Back on topic - for some obscure reason, Planeplotter is today not showing any data from my Pi - and I've changed nothing!

    Apologies for our light banter on the thread.
    Us folk who stay inland, always joke with those from Cape Town and their mountain. Then again, they call us Vaalies - referring to the Vaal River, the old Transvaal province, meaning "Over the Vaal(river)" (Vaal being a greyish/beige non-decrepit color.)

    But as PeterHR remarked: indeed a good location to get your antenna . SAFlyer, perhaps you can shed some light on antenna locations your side
