From 18483b81ee7e70ee68d4b18be618be5cfcc0b290 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2010 15:13:38 -0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf record: Fix eternal wait for stillborn child When execvp fails to find the specified command on the path we won't get SIGCHLD, so send a SIGUSR1 and exit right away. Current situation would require a SIGINT performed by the user and would produce meaningless summary.
