Why people don't test development distributionsWhy people don't test development distributionsPosted Jul 7, 2009 16:31 UTC (Tue) by joey (subscriber, #328)In reply to: Why people don't test development distributions by nim-nim Parent article: Why people don't test development distributions
Existing proccesses are unlikely to respawn more than 1 process each, which will fail to start, which does not qualify as a fork bomb, surely?
I had excellent luck once recovering from a hosed ld.so using only zsh. zsh, you see, includes a built-in ftp client that doesn't need to fork at all in order to download a file. Only an open root shell was needed.

That depends on how many do at the same time, if some of them are configured to maintain a process worker pool, and how quickly they retry.
