It seems like
airodump-ng
was not exiting in a timely manner. One way that this manifests itself, is as the little 2 second "hickup" that occurs after the user sends Ctrl-c to stop scanning: if you crank verbosity up to at least 2 (-vv
), you can clearly see that the process handling goes a little bit something like this when the scanning finishes:but the process never does exit - it is waiting for something - buffered output to be read, or something along those lines.
Seems like
airodump-ng
has a completely mute background-mode exactly for this purpose - so let's ensure it is used.
