Bug Description
Each time I perform an action which involves the execution of a command, easystroke leaves behind a new zombie process. Naturally, restarting easystroke causes the zombies to be reparented to PID1 and thus disappear.
I am using ubuntu 14.10 and easystroke 0.6.0-0ubuntu3.
The zombie processes are apparently coming from the shell that easystroke opened to execute the command, whose exit status was never checked. This is how these processes appear in ps aux:
[sh] <defunct>
[sh] <defunct>
[sh] <defunct>
