Syncovery 7.92 leaves behind Zombie processes

I am running syncovery 7.92 on an Ubuntu 16 server. Everything is great, runs as expected, but every few days I have to kill numerous zombie processes that seem to be left behind after a task is run.

Here is what I see in my process listing

Code: Select all
root@rebel:~#  ps aux |grep Z
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root      1234  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    Nov21   0:00 [sh] <defunct>
root     12657  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    03:00   0:00 [sh] <defunct>
root     17950  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    Nov21   0:00 [sh] <defunct>
root     19773  0.0  0.0  14224  1032 pts/0    S+   09:00   0:00 grep --color=auto Z
root     22416  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    02:00   0:00 [sh] <defunct>
root     22755  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    Nov20   0:00 [sh] <defunct>
root     32387  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    Nov20   0:00 [sh] <defunct>


The offender seems to be stemming from a shell script.

Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

I can confirm the problem and I will fix it in the next update.

These processes are finished but Syncovery seems to keep a process handle open.

Today's update (version 7.94a) fixes this now.
