When spawning individual servers in a way that has systemd as an ancestor somewhere up the process tree (e.g. using
SystemdSpawner
), the server inherits systemd's default of ignoring SIGPIPE. This in turn means that if you start a terminal inside the individual server and run pipelines, you can come acrossBroken pipe
errors which you wouldn't normally see in an interactive shell that has default SIGPIPE handling:(See this post on the Jupyter Discourse for more details.)
The systemd-devel mailing list post linked in the first paragraph suggests that "Of course, shells and suchlike should turn this [i.e. SIGPIPE handling] on again." So this is what this PR does :) Let me know though if this should be handled somewhere else, I'm keen to follow through and do everything I can to have this fixed, as it affects my own setup and teaching.
