i'm sorry but i don't get it.
with a line like this in the log:
INFO -- : reaped #<Process::Status: pid 16101 exit 0> worker=unknown
if i run
# ps axf |grep 16101
i only get the ps line:
10277 pts/4    S+     0:00          \_ grep 16101

consider that i have loads of this line in the log, like at least 1
every minute.

what could cause those reaps?
