Subject: [PATCH v1] tools/hv: reduce resouce usage in hv_kvp_daemon
Date: Mon,  2 Dec 2024 13:35:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241202123520.27812-1-olaf@aepfle.de> (raw)

hv_kvp_daemon uses popen(3) and system(3) as convinience helper to
launch external helpers. These helpers are invoked via a
temporary shell process. There is no need to keep this temporary
process around while the helper runs. Replace this temporary shell
with the actual helper process via 'exec'.
