Hi,

• We are trying to use boost process to have an always running process spawn child processes in a fire and forget manner (don't wait or block on the process that was just spawned).

In this case, the simplest solution is to ignore the SIGCHLD signal: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16920887/zombie-process-sigchld-exit-in-unix

As in

#include <signal.h>

signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);
