Serve command runs in background

[beechnut]

Expected Behavior

When I run ./serve and signal an interrupt (ctrl+C), the serve command should stop running and the site should stop working in the browser.

Actual Behavior

When I run ./serve and signal an interrupt (ctrl+C), serve continues running in the background and the local site continues to work.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

• Follow local installation instructions and run ./serve
• Visit the site (it should be running)
• Type ctrl+C to interrupt
• Refresh the tab with the site (it's still running, but shouldn't be)

This issue is done when

• serve shuts down when given an interrupt signal (ctrl+C)

This line appears to be the culprit — there's a & (which backgrounds a process) where I suspect we want a &&. But it's a little hard to tell, perhaps it's intentional that it's trying to run a couple processes in parallel.

I don't see this issue occurring on my machine. Sending ctrl + c to interrupt a running ./serve causes the local site to stop responding when using ./serve or ./serve-fast and the PIDs associated with the running job/task disappear when doing a process list with ps -a.

I'm not sure what the difference could be but some here's some info about my local setup:

• Intel chip macbook (non Apple Silicon/M1/M2/M3)
• I'm using Kitty for a terminal app
• I'm using zshell and not bash

I tried a few different things to see if it changed the behavior I see:

• I updated the ./serve script to run in a bash shell by changing #!/bin/sh at the top of the script to #!/bin/bash. Running this script in Kitty and in the default terminal application made no difference.
• I tried running the ./serve script in the default terminal application and that made no difference.
• I ran chsh -s /bin/bash to temporarily switch over to a bash shell and then running an unmodified ./serve script resulted in no changes, the process stops as expected when sent an interrupt.

If it's not reproducible after all that work, I'm comfortable closing this for now.
