UI prompts stop appearing after an hour or so (may be related to "Could not find process id")

[Ryujinra]

Opensnitch-ui/opensnitchd work as expected after starting the service or after a reboot. However, after an indeterminate amount of time I stop receiving UI prompts for unauthorized connections.

I included logs from issuing the command wget google.com before and after it stops working. The difference seems to be that at some point opensnitchd fails to find the process id of wget or any other software requesting a connection (may be related to #171). This is strange because it appears to work normally at first, but loses that ability after some time has passed.

I substituted the local IP and DNS server but everything else is the same.

Appreciate any help.

Try latest packages, this should be fixed. https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/releases
