Hyper: Closing hyperterm doesn't quit processes

[tleunen]

I had hyperterm opened with a process to start a http server with node, but I quit hyperterm and the node process is still alive. So the only way to kill the http server is to find the PID and kill it manually :/

Hi @tleunen -- is this against latest master, or 0.7.x?

[tleunen]

Yes, with Version 0.7.1 (0.7.1.36) (build from brew)

[MrRio]

Can you try against master using the Contribute instructions in the readme?

[tleunen]

Same on master. Run something, start a node http server for example and then quit (cmd+q).

[juanbrujo]

a question: how do I quit a process? I used command + dot in Terminap.app

[juanbrujo]

OK I see it is using ctrl + c.

I can't reproduce it here 😕 Can you provide more info and perhaps a snippet of the server that you are using? with list running, if I quit the terminal the server goes away.

[tleunen]

Steps:

1. Run micro-list: list
2. Quit hyperterm with cmd+q.

Notice localhost:3000 is still accessible.

But I just noticed it's the same behavior in the mac terminal, except it warns that a process is running before quitting.

[matheuss]

Which shell are you using?

_(WTF is this shadows doing 🤔)_

[tleunen]

zsh

[matheuss]

Same here 😰 Let's see if someone else can reproduce 🤔

[tleunen]

Anyway, it's the same behavior in the mac terminal... I'll try to find if there's a setting in my zsh making it keeping the process alive.

But could we have a prompt before exiting when a process is running? Do you know if there's already a ticket, or should I create a new one?

[matheuss]

I do not remember seeing any issue about this. Go ahead ☺️

[matheuss]

Since 1) I can't reproduce 2) You report seeing the same behavior on Terminal.app, I'm closing this 😄 Feel free to reopen it or add more info anytime 😄

I'm also facing the same issue here. I'm on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04). Hyper process won't quit. If I try to close and open it again, there will be two processes running. :-)

[matheuss]

Can you reproduce the same behavior in another terminal app, @THPubs?

[THPubs]

@matheuss Nope. The system's gnome-terminal is working fine. Even checked with another electron app (Atom). It also behaves normally. Process killed after closing. :-)

I have a similar issue running zsh on HyperTerm 0.7.1. If I close the shell via Ctrl-D (or via the window managers default exitting signal (Super + Shift + Q on i3wm)) HyperTerm continues to run in the background. Maybe this might be the reason background-processes continue to run in the HyperTerm process.

I tested it by running a xfce4terminal, starting HyperTerm by inputting HyperTerm into the first terminal window and closing the HyperTerm window again. The HyperTerm process is still running, the child processes I tested in HyperTerm themselves stopped, though.

Now I don't know, whether this is a separate issue or not (or whether it's applicable in this same context) but I thought I first start to explain my troubles here, than opening a new issue. :wink:

I use Hyper on Windows, with the Linux Subsystem. I'm using zsh as my shell. When closing Hyper, the zsh processes are still running in the background

[fultonm]

Yep. Process still running after closing Hyper. Git bash not doing this, because it prompts if I want to terminate the process. If I choose no the terminal stays open, otherwise the terminal and process are terminated with Git Bash.

That's happening to me also. I'm using WSL (Ubuntu) with ZSH and when I close the Hyper Window zsh process still alive.

[caiocutrim]

That is happend to me too in 2019, I'm using ubuntu 19.10, and to kill the process I have to do it manually by searching the process id and kill it with kill {process-id} command.

[rohitkrishna094]

Is there a solution to this? Or should we open a new issue since this still persists in 2020?

I am using fish. In hyper config, I have
shell: 'fish.exe',

and if I close hyper without typing exit then, the fish process doesn't quit and keeps running in the background. If I open another hyper instance or hyper again, then more fish shells are created thereby eating up memory.

I tried the same with bash.exe as well.
