Still trying to sort this problem. Processes remain active, including child processes. The program acts like it is on a timer. Connect for x period of time (time is not consistent), then cease attempting to connect. It will still accept HUP, USR1, WINCH & TERM, but as it is not connected and those commands don't kick the connect attempts back on, it is pretty useless.
I didn't do the install of the sc_trans_linux and probably at this point should try to re-install it. However, I would want to locate it in a different place and need to know where the program has all written to first. More reading
