both are running 388.1_0-gnuton1. I found that the loop was useless because by killing any one of the 1000-ish of the processes, they were all killed. Leaving the loop just resulted in a lot of kill: can't kill pid 6012: No such process warnings.

2 x ZenWiFi_XT8 (base model: RT-AX95Q); Firmware Version 388.1_0-gnuton1 with an ethernet backhaul. Main is set up as "Wireless router mode / AiMesh Router mode”, second set up as an AiMesh node.

of course! child signal! but ugh, it did nothing. router continued to have approx 1012 cfg_server processes running. I even tried running a loop and sending it to every process in case there was a cascade I could kick off somewhere. No dice.

I noticed that every time the zombie slayer script ran, I wound up with 0 cfg_server processes running, instead of 3 or so. So, I thought “could it be that it’s killing the wrong process first‽” and fixed up your edits to make sure not to kill that one. But still I was winding up with zero. I...

The problem was never the script, it was that the script was never being executed.

So that’s a fun experiment to run. It also explains may explain some logs I got on sunday (can’t kill pid that doesn’t exist) that I assumed were due to the fact that I somehow was running two zombie slayer processes. In ssh session #1 # while [ true ]; do ps wT | grep cfg_se rver | wc -l &&...

# ps wT | grep cfg_server | wc -l 1012 # pstree -s cfg_server -+- 00001 admin /sbin/init \--- 21470 admin cfg_server I’m not totally sure I understand the question here. So, more info in case this answers it: in /jffs/scripts/service-event and /jffs/scripts/service-event-end I had just added...

Seems worth noting that service-event and service-event-end haven’t run in 22 hours, and when they did last run there were 3 cfg_server processes running. (I have them both logging their execution)

😂👇🏻 Here’s a gist of the output

Oh I mean no matter what I do it will immediately spawn cfg_server until there are approx 1010 running (which I assume has something to do with the little beast’s ulimit but was hoping to not have to care) I just experienced the most amazing thing, I could use the webui! the network map and...

lol this thing is spawning processes almost faster than i can kill them, this cannot be the best way to deal with this problem.

🤦🏻‍♀️ never even crossed my mind. I generally avoid replacing packages like that but i’m absolutely not a purist about it. truly my lack of sed/awk skills are my greatest professional shame. This 👆🏻 gets me the same output as ps wT | grep cfg_server does. this however ps wT | awk...

i know this is over a year old and I’m so, so sorry, but I went so far as to read the BusyBox source code and can confidently report that the XT8 (RT-AX95Q) is cursed. Its implementation of `pidof` appears to actually be an implementation of `pidof -s`. It only returns the highest PID. # ps wT...
