Every test left a stray `sleep 300` behind, reparented to PID 1, where it lingered for up to five minutes after the test had finished. wdstart() runs the watchdog in a subshell, so $! is the pid of the subshell, not of the sleep it forks. wdkill() killed the subshell and orphaned the sleep. Kill the child first, killing the subshell puts the sleep beyond the reach of pkill -P. Neither kill is sure to match, and wdkill() runs from the EXIT trap under set -e, so both must tolerate failure. Also return early when wdpid is unset, for failures before wdstart() runs.

Finit is a fast, simple alternative to SysV init and systemd, designed for small and embedded Linux systems. It can also run on desktop and server systems, like finix.

- 🛠️ Buildroot embedded Linux,
- 📦 Debian GNU/Linux,
- ⛰️ Alpine Linux, and
- 🌌 Void Linux
Note
Finit can run on various Linux distributions, but the bundled install scripts are examples only. They have been tested on amd64 (x86_64) systems with standard configurations.
For embedded systems, see these Buildroot-based examples: myLinux, Infix, or br2-finit-demo.
