Numerous idle manpac process created about man_pac HOT 8 CLOSED

@yashito Did you launch manpac directly instead of using the kernel launcher?

from man_pac.

Worth looking into, but I cannot reproduce this.

I restored my snapshot to initial and it's working fine. Sorry about false alarm. You can remove this issue.

from man_pac.

No problem @yashito! That would have been a crazy thing to deal with before the demo, haha.

from man_pac.

This bug can be reproduced if manpac is called after running "make clean", perhaps because it removed ghost and manpac executables.

from man_pac.

@yashito After running make clean, you ran manpac directly? Does make clean not remove manpac from the directory?

from man_pac.

Only LKM functionality was used to reproduce this bug, not running executables directly. That is, hook up system call using Konami code and calling man pac command.

I do aware that make clean would remove manpac executable, but somehow ps command lists manpac as well as its printf output numerous times: "Waiting for Ghosts to initiallize."

from man_pac.

That's really strange. The binary that is called should be in /tmp not the local directory, so it shouldn't matter. Maybe removing the kernel module binary is causing this?
Either way, this can be closed since this wouldn't be standard practice.
