[chef] running chef-client on cmdline won't exit

hi. when i run chef-client on the cmdline, it won't exit, it holds open
my pts. shouldn't it exit? when the cmdline run is complete, i have to
ctrl-c to get my prompt back.

is using the "--once" switch the proper thing to do? if memory serves,
i didn't used to have to do that. maybe that was a prior release..

on my system, chef-client is running as a daemon (using -d).

below are the details.

thanks,
kallen


client: centos 5.7, chef 0.10.4.

the process list:

the way i'm invoking it on the commandline is like so:
