Defunct processes - Bug in 6.3E
In version 6.3E and 7.2 of Progress, you may notice defunct processes
appearing. This is a bug and it is fixed in version 6.3F and 7.3B of
Progress.
It is caused when a unix shell is spawned either by forking a new
process in the unix environment or printing something. The defunct
process should go away when the client session ends.
To work around the problem, the defunct processes can be avoided by
adding the line:
unix silent sleep 1
prior to sending any output to the process. For example:
output to printer.
for each customer:
unix silent sleep 1.
display customer.
end.
output close.
