Detached setup processes are not killed

The DetachPopenExecutorService launches the process on a shell so when the PopenKillerService tries to kill the process it only kills the shell and no the child processes.

Possible workarounds:

  • Don't use shell=True
  • Prepend the command with exec (Unix only)
  • Use a process group (Unix only)
