[jira] [Comment Edited] (BIGTOP-835) The shell exec method must have variants which have timeout and can run in background

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-835?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13567280#comment-13567280 ]

I think this is a misconception: exec _doesn't_ run in background. Exec in background should be called {{fork}}. Please do not confuse the semantics. E.g. -1 in the way the patch is done right now.
