The specific instance I ran into was a program where you want to kill it by sending INT instead of KILL. KILL just kills it, INT prints some nice statistics...

That's true, wrapping kill or killall in a tool would fit the use case

I can create those :)

I think I'm hitting this too with dpdk-dev and dpdk from the package manager

Yep will post, I'm seeing a couple of weird errors testing so trying to sort them out.

I think we removed these, there's a rewritten timeout function that runs dpdk for 10 seconds, this is required since testpmd will just continue to run until you kill it...

There's another use of the function at https://github.com/microsoft/lisa/blob/c36e493a9011db67ab8451e7e32f146ebfc28cef/microsoft/testsuites/dpdk/dpdksuite.py#L788 in the wrapper we use to run testpmd concurrently on nodes.

Noticed an issue with cores when NIC is assigned to a different numa node, working on a fix

closing now that we have moved to pip

this was implemented in the kill tool, closing
