FYI: phantom processes killed by Android

[devnoname120]

Even if you add an app to the battery exemptions it still gets its background processes killed: https://github.com/agnostic-apollo/Android-Docs/blob/f89b5a310ce21a9aa97245f5ca0ccd5d1e46bcc4/en/docs/apps/processes/phantom-cached-and-empty-processes.md

You need to disable the killing of phantom processes in addition to allowlisting the app. Thought it would be worth mentioning this in the README.md along the battery-saver exemption! 🙂

Thanks for reporting this! Is this something you've tested and verified on your device? (And if so, which device and OS?)

I would be very surprised if it makes a difference. The phantom process restriction only affects child processes, but RSAF never spawns any child processes. RSAF is very different from other rclone apps in that rclone is compiled as a library and loaded directly into the main process instead of running a separate rclone executable as a child process.

@chenxiaolong No I haven't tested for RSAF. I had the issue when running rclone mount as a Termux:Boot service. Thanks for the heads-up about rclone running in the main process!
