It looks like this GRR client consumed a large amount of time or memory and committed a suicide.
Does rpm -Va return immediately when you run it without GRR, manually in a terminal?

There are quite a few number of lines on the specific server that we're running it on. 

Does the GRR client not like to run commands that take a while to execute? 

Running RPM -Va took around 10 minutes on the system.

Perhaps it would be better to have it run the command and disconnect it from the console, but save the results to a file? 

Something like this perhaps? 

```
import commands
status, output = commands.getstatusoutput("rpm -Va > /tmp/rpm_verify_results &")
magic_return_str = "RPM Verify executed successfully"
```

At least that way you could keep refreshing the /tmp/ directory until the results are there....Or would that not work?

We have used hacks like https://pastebin.com/ZfcEKp0x before that call Progress periodically so the the client doesn't get terminated due to timeout. It's not pretty but it works..
