And after opening my eyes properly i notice you had already attached the script and
it looks just fine.
Yet the problem seems to be that your script dies. Or that you are running SELinux or
AppArmor which denies you from seeing the child processes for some reason.
do you have anything in 'dmesg' or /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog that would
explain this?
