I like to use pasta's spawn mode in "low effort" things like shell scripts. Creating a namespace and connecting it to pasta requires (imho) more effort as it inverts the process model. A wrapper that simply execs the command inside the namespaces can't start pasta afterwards: Something outside has to fork, wait for the namespaces to exist, start pasta against the PID, then signal the command that networking is up, and stay around to tie pasta's lifetime to the command's. Spawn mode already does all of that in the right order with one process and no handshake to get wrong. --no-pidns keeps that and only drops the one namespace that can't work inside a container. Again, thank you so much for accepting the patch. -- Chris
