[Jailkit-users] jk_chrootlaunch processes staying around?

[Gregory Piñero]

I'm getting some odd behavior from jk_chrootlaunch.

The basic idea is I have a program run as root that runs this command
four times:
jk_chrootlaunch -u jaileduser -g jaileduser -j /srv/jail_dir/ --exec
/usr/bin/python2.5 exec_worker.py

It should leave 4 instances of exec_worker.py running from the
jaileduser in the jail.

However when I run ps aux | grep python

I get this:

root      2195  0.0  0.1   1712   480 ?        S    00:33   0:00
/bin/sh -c jk_chrootlaunch -u jaileduser -g jaileduser -j
/srv/jail_dir/ --exec /usr/bin/python2.5 exec_worker.py
1001      2196  0.6  1.4   6764  4356 ?        S    00:33   0:00
/usr/bin/python2.5 exec_worker.py
root      2197  0.0  0.1   1712   480 ?        S    00:33   0:00
/bin/sh -c jk_chrootlaunch -u jaileduser -g jaileduser -j
/srv/jail_dir/ --exec /usr/bin/python2.5 exec_worker.py
1001      2198  0.7  1.4   6776  4364 ?        S    00:33   0:00
/usr/bin/python2.5 exec_worker.py
root      2199  0.0  0.1   1716   484 ?        S    00:33   0:00
/bin/sh -c jk_chrootlaunch -u jaileduser -g jaileduser -j
/srv/jail_dir/ --exec /usr/bin/python2.5 exec_worker.py
1001      2200  0.5  1.4   6768  4360 ?        S    00:33   0:00
/usr/bin/python2.5 exec_worker.py
root      2201  0.0  0.1   1716   480 ?        S    00:33   0:00
/bin/sh -c jk_chrootlaunch -u jaileduser -g jaileduser -j
/srv/jail_dir/ --exec /usr/bin/python2.5 exec_worker.py
1001      2202  0.2  1.4   6764  4356 ?        S    00:33   0:00
/usr/bin/python2.5 exec_worker.py

So my questions are:

1. Why are these root process sticking around?


2. Why does 1001 appear instead of jaileduser?


Thanks for any help you can give.  I'm quite stuck.
