Avoid leaving unnecessary waiting shells in many forms of sh -c COMMAND.
This change only affects strings passed to -c, when the -s option is not used. The approach is to check if there may be additional data in the string after parsing each command. If there is none, use the EV_EXIT flag so that a fork may be omitted in specific cases. If there are empty lines after the command, the check will not see the end and forks will not be omitted. The same thing seems to happen in bash. Example: sh -c 'ps lT' No longer shows a shell process waiting for ps to finish. PR: bin/113860 Reviewed by: stefanf Approved by: ed (mentor)
