Somehow highlight processes blocked on full pipes

Open walles opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

If you exec() a process outputting lots of stuff, and forget to empty its stdout pipe (or stderr if that's where the output is), the process will block.

This tends to be hard to diagnose, and we should be able to make that easy.
