We suggest the following one-liner to run `pihole-FTL` in `memcheck`:
```
sudo rm /dev/shm/FTL-*; sudo valgrind --trace-children=yes --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes -s /usr/bin/pihole-FTL &> valgrind.log
sudo service pihole-FTL stop && sudo setcap -r /usr/bin/pihole-FTL
sudo valgrind --trace-children=yes --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes --log-file=valgrind.log -s /usr/bin/pihole-FTL
```
If you compile FTL from source, use
```
sudo rm /dev/shm/FTL-*; ./build.sh && sudo valgrind --trace-children=yes --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes -s ./pihole-FTL &> valgrind.log
sudo service pihole-FTL stop && sudo setcap -r /usr/bin/pihole-FTL
./build.sh && sudo valgrind --trace-children=yes --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes --log-file=valgrind.log -s ./pihole-FTL
```
The most useful information (about which memory is *possibly* and which is *definitely* lost) is written to `valgrind.log` at the end of the analysis. Terminate FTL by running:
```bash
sudo kill -TERM $(cat /var/run/pihole-FTL.pid)
```
and immediately restart it (and fix permissions) using
```bash
sudo service pihole-FTL start
```
The used options are:
