Problem
Resolve #1461
When using
--exit-no-connor--onceoptions, ttyd would exit immediately without properly waiting for the child process to terminate. This could result in:Root Cause
On certain systems (particularly macOS), the
waitpid()system call may fail to properly reap zombie processes in some edge cases, causing theprocess_exit_cbcallback to never be invoked, leading ttyd to wait indefinitely.Solution
Implemented a dual-mechanism approach for robust process termination handling:
waitpid()andprocess_exit_cblogicuv_timer_tthat periodically checks process status usingkill(pid, 0)If the primary mechanism fails, the fallback timer detects when the process no longer exists and triggers ttyd exit.
