after executing “provision” the processes “genieacs-ext” continue to be active in the system.  
it only helps if I execute process.exit(0) at the end of extensions

This is by design. GenieACS-ext is the host process for extension scripts. Do not terminate the genieacs-ext process.

```auto
me@some-acs-server ~ $ ps ax | grep genieacs-ext
