The way the hobbit init script works (at least on debian), a lot of processes are left running on the host when doing a "/etc/init.d/hobbit-client stop".
Is there any reason for this?
You mean the vmstat processes ?
Yes, but also df commands that seem to be stalled, such as:
ssgtest1a:~# date
Fri Oct 6 13:36:34 BST 2006
ssgtest1a:~# ps aux | grep hobbit
hobbit 21440 0.0 0.0 5620 1188 ? S 13:06 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh

hobbit 21457 0.0 0.0 2624 508 ? S 13:06 0:00 sed -e /^[^ ?][^ ?]*$/{?N?s/[ ?]*\n[ ?]*/ /?}
The reason is that they run pretty independent of everything else, just
collecting data over a 5 minute period. They will terminate by
themselves after at most 5 minutes; and if you're shutting down the
system, they will get killed.
It's not that it has to be this way, but it was just the easiest way of
doing it.
