rake preview leaves rb-fsevent running in the background

[ghost]

After running rake preview and quitting with control-C, this process stays running in the background until I kill it manually:

71890 ttys000    0:00.01 /Users/sasha/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p374/gems/rb-fsevent

I'm on a Mac running 10.7.5 and the most recent version of octopress and obviously ruby 1.9.3-p374. I'll look into fixing this if anyone else is seeing the same thing.

Still exist on the 2.1 branch? That's the dev branch at the moment.

I'm running 2.0 for my blog but just cloned 2.1 and the process still lingers.

Weiiiiird. Ok, I'll take a look at some point if you don't get to it first :)

OK I dug into this a bit. Looks like fsevent is spawned by guard to watch for file changes. When you interrupt rake with control-c, it sends a KILL to child processes, and guard doesn't handle it well, so fsevent stays alive.

Sending QUIT works well though. What do you think?

[parkr]

I think QUIT will work just fine.

Merged #1140.

You may want to notify the listen project which is the core of guard

Good catch. I'll go look for them.
