with --reload produce a zombie process problem

[zybxjx]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

With "start _ method = spell" and "- -reload" modify the code will produce a zombie process, modify the process.py-> _ terminate _ now() function, add self._current_process.join() after self._current_process.terminate() will not produce a zombie process, so ok?

Code snippet

from sanic import Sanic
from sanic.response import text

app = Sanic("MyHelloWorldApp")

@app.get("/")
async def hello_world(request):
# print('t')
return text("Hello, world.")

Expected Behavior

produce a zombie process

        f"{Colors.BOLD}{Colors.SANIC}"
        f"%s {Colors.BLUE}[%s]{Colors.END}",
        self.name,
        self._current_process.pid,
    )
    self._current_process.terminate()
    self._current_process.join() #new code

I am not sure what is being asked here? Can you please clarify?

Start With " Sanic.start_method = 'spawk' " and "- -reload", modify the code will produce a zombie process.

Spawn is the default. I'm closing this for now because it is not clear at all how to reproduce. Feel free to elaborate and we can reopen.
