.SH NAME
|
|
orphan-reaper - Keep your process tree clean
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.BR orphan-reaper
|
|
[-f]
|
|
.IR command ...
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This user daemon spawns a process and reaps all orphaned
|
|
grandchildren. This is useful if you want to keep your
|
|
process tree clean. For instance if you want all programs
|
|
started from inside the same display server instance to
|
|
appear to be inside that display if you look inside the
|
|
process tree, rather than all processes that loses their
|
|
parent being reparented to PID 1 and make a mess on your
|
|
process tree.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-f
|
|
Fail if the process cannot become a subreaper.
|
|
.SH RATIONALE
|
|
It is really nice to have a processes that are running
|
|
inside a display server to be a grandchild of the
|
|
display server, rather than being reparanted to PID 1.
|
|
Especially when multiple display servers are running.
