Salseforce CLI does not release the running process when finished executing

[justin-lyon]

Summary

For all sf and sfdx commands, the running process is not released immediately after completing execution. Instead sf keeps the process open for a few seconds delay after the output has already been reported to standard out.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Execute sf version or sfdx version in your terminal.
2. Notice the version is instantly printed to standard out
3. Notice it takes ~10 seconds to release the process back to the terminal

Expected result

After the command reports to standard out, it should release the process back to the user.

Actual result

After the command reports to standard out, it hangs for ~10 seconds before releasing back to the user.

hey @justin-lyon someone from our team did see this--it was fixed by updating the node version (18.17.1 is current, I think that very early 18.1.0 is the problem).

Can you try and let us know?

[AllanOricil]

It would be good if ocliff could verify the supported node version before running any command. Useful for people, like me, who have multiple node version in their machines.

Thanks @mshanemc. That seems to be it. After updating my node version, I don't experience these delays any longer.
