No child processes

Cause

This message can appear when an application tries to communicate with cooperating process that do not exist.

Action

Restart the parent process so it can create the child processes again. If that doesn't help, this could be the result of a programming error; contact the vendor or author of the program for an update.

Technical Notes

A wait(2) system call was executed by a process that had no existing or unwaited-for child processes. The child processes could have exited prematurely, or might never have been created.

The symbolic name for this error is ECHILD, errno=10.
