Bug Description
1st part of this 2-fold bug:
There is one 'sh' process created each time classicmenu-
Unfortunately, such 'sh' processes do wait for the application just launched to finish.
Because 'sh' is invoked the following way :
/bin/sh -c sgt-dominosa # example while running one of my favourite games
this 'sh' process is kept living until I quit the 'sgt-dominosa' app/game (a good one).
This 'sh' process would vanish (ideally, if garbage collected, see 2nd part below) if told to launch the app in the background.
But in the current implementation, this 'sh' process just keeps straying around like a lazy dog, consuming resources (memory, not cpu).
2nd part of this 2-fold bug:
classicmenu-
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Valentin
