On rare occasions, a Checkmk automation call invoked by the GUI could freeze while waiting for the underlying process to terminate.

While this holds true for all automation calls issued by the Checkmk GUI, this mainly affects background jobs with underlying automation calls, e.g., an agent baking job. As a consequence, the affected backgound jobs had to be terminated manually by their PID.

This behavior only occured for processes that yield a very long output, and could only be observed on a few individual Checkmk installations.
