Most of time having '-M' option causes cyclictest won't exit after a duration ('-D') expires, like this quick command on my machines: sudo cyclictest -S -M -D2 -d0 This is because the main thread is blocked on waiting for the next update of MAX, but the timer thread doesn't signal the main thread before it quits.
