#33505 [NEW]: proc_terminate does not really kill terminate the process

From: osama at wayout dot net Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.1.0b2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: proc_terminate does not really kill terminate the process Description: ------------ I am using PHP5.1.0b1 As per the documentation, proc_terminate should send the process started by proc_open a specified signal. However, practically speaking, it actually sends the signal to the shell (/bin/sh) process and not to the process that was started by the shell. This usually causes a problem since the signal never reaches the actual process and hence it never terminates (i.e. or receives the signal). For example, when sending the SIGTERM to a process started by proc_open, only the /bin/sh process terminates while the main process (tcpdump in my case) never terminates. I am using pipes to communicate to the process.
