  • I'm starting to think the issue is with the process being spawned (which we do not own) as spawning "sleep 1234" which is what I was doing above in lieu of the real process, works fine with lxc containers and detaches ok. It was only with this specific process. So it could be that some other signal is causing that program to exit (it was called during 'init' via nohup) and using setsid avoid the program exiting. Lot of conjecture I know. Thanks for the help anyway. Commented Sep 17, 2014 at 22:02
