I would assume that 7545 is the thread that is calling the image_convert.sh script. But, I have no idea what 81926 is.. What I was thinking is that if a thread gets stuck waiting for a process to finish, that it affects all the other threads (since this is not multithreaded). > The conversion isn't made asynchronous with threads but with > fork(). So possibly this is not related. > I can reproduce it every time though.. What I was thinking is something like this for a fix: if [ $FORMAT = "pal" ]; then echo " \ pnmscale $S $TMP | \ pnmpad -black -width 704 -height 576 | \ ppmntsc --pal | \ ppmtoy4m -v 0 -n 1 -r -F 25:1 | \ mpeg2enc -f 7 -T 90 -F 3 -np -a 2 -v 0 -o "$MPG" \ "| at now fi
