you are calling fork every time you receive an event.

you need to exit the process from the child and reap or ignore it on the parent.

I am wanting to code an inbound event program.

In order to see why I am getting zombie processes I stripped out all my code and used the minimum skeletcon code to do a test.

con = ESL::ESLconnection.new('127.0.0.1', '8021', 'ClueCon')

con.events("plain", "CHANNEL_HANGUP_COMPLETE")

loop do
event = con.recvEvent

pid = fork do

end

Process.detach(pid)

end

This code does nothing but wait for an incoming event, creates an fork then detach however it still produces a defunct process.

I think con.recvEvent is the cause?
