Anyway doing the tracking more fast?

[tinganho]

I think insight is blocking a process from exiting. I wonder if you can do like yeoman/update-notifier? and make a child process that is not blocking the main process from exiting?

It should already work exactly the same. If it's not it's a bug. Can you elaborate more on what you're experiencing?

I'm just experiencing a random delay instead of a near instant exit when I execute a CLI method.

Node version and OS? Submitting a failing test would accelerate how fast this is fixed ;)

node v0.10.33 on Mac OSX.

I'm also experiencing this.

'use strict'
const Insight = require('insight');

const insight = new Insight(...);

if (process.argv[2] === 'track')  {
    insight.track('test');
}

Also, I did some tests and I'm almost sure that if i call process.exit() right after insight.track(), the track does not occur. I'll look into it and report here when I get something more concrete.

It appears that child_process.fork() is causing the parent process to wait. Switching to child_process.spawn() and passing the payload as a JSON string argument (which is what update-notifier does) fixes the waiting, but I haven't checked whether the child process actually runs properly in that case.
