How do you know they are frozen?
Many cli programs when you start them with no additional argument or through pipe will wait for input from atdin (from user or program)

because I have experience of using them on different distros, if you look closely at the screenshot I've attached, you can see the runtime before I kill, and those are lightweight programs that should run immediately

cowsay is just waiting for input

run cowsay, write something, press ENTER and than CTRL+D
works fine for me

plus I believe moc is not something you wish to run with no arguments.
moc is some code generator for Qt.
