You are passing the payload on the command line (-m) and _pub will close
and finish correctly when it's sent that out.

Try a longer-lived _pub with, say, -l which reads from stdin; if you
kill mosquitto_pub it ought to publish the LWT.

        -JP

Thanks! What would you suggest how to pass the payload from a script to this _pub process then? Named Pipes?

Cheers
