Till Schäfer <till2.schae...@uni-dortmund.de> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version|5.4.0 |5.9.2 --- Comment #39 from Till Schäfer <till2.schae...@uni-dortmund.de> --- still valid on 5.9.2 with frameworks 5.51.0 and qt 5.11.2 in the meanwhile for everybody frustrated to type killall kontact every few hours: here is a script to detect and kill hanging kmail instances. I have just added it to my kontact.desktop file, such that kontact just starts and does not wait for the hanging instance. #!/bin/bash pid=$(pidof kontact) if [[ $pid != "" ]]; then echo "Running KMail instance found: $pid" windowsofpid=$(xdotool search --pid $pid) if [[ $windowsofpid == "" ]]; then echo "Hanging KMail instance found. Killing..." kdialog --passivepopup "Hanging KMail instance found: $pid. Killing ..." 5 --title "Kill Hanging Kontact Script" kill $pid fi fi -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
