3. Description
Intermediate Shell Process: Invoking
subprocess.Popenwithshell=Truespawns an intermediate shell process (e.g.,/bin/sh) to execute the command. The FastAPI application runs as a child process of this shell. Consequently, the process object returned byPopenreferences the shell's PID, not the application's PID.Signal Propagation Failure: When a
SIGINT(Ctrl+C) is issued, the signal is received by the shell. Most shells terminate immediately upon receiving this signal without forwarding it to their child processes.Orphaned Process Creation: The shell terminates successfully, causing the parent Python script to conclude that the subprocess has ended. However, the underlying FastAPI process continues to run in the background as an orphan process, resulting in a process leak.
