gnome-terminal closed kept a fg job running

[PresuntoRJ]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

I was running iptstate under sudo in a gnome-terminal tab to monitor some activities, and when I have closed those terminals (after my tests) I have notice a 50% or so use of the CPU while the system was supposedly in stand by (mostly idle, on the nautilus was opened)

a quick look at top has shown me iptstate was using it... which as odd by itself to use that much CPU on my system, even worse, since I had already closed it and it was not supposed to be running any more any way; I think

I had run it under sudo, which could be the root cause of the issue... not sure.

this behavior never occurred in my system, though it looks very similar to bug #234753

after I had it $ sudo kill (pid) it died quietly and the system was idle again

I am able to reproduce this at will, cause it happens every time I do it again in my system...

I am not sure with logs or tests to do, but feel free to ask and I will sure try them out and send whatever necessary.

gnome-terminal even gave me a nice warning when I tried to close with a running job, but the problem happened any way as described

HI, Thanks for reporting this bug and for helping to make Ubuntu a better OS. I can reproduce this bug only for the iptstate command. Other commands (e.g. top, powertop), when run as root, close as you close the terminal window. It might be a bug in iptstate command. I will also mark it as also affected.

Cheers

Davide
