That patch has a problem when process-IDs are reused. Can you please explain more what is going on here? As I understand it, "users" and "pinky" do not suffer from the stale-utmp problem. They do not invoke kill(), so they must have a method that doesn't involve testing whether a process-ID exists. Can we modify "who" to use their method? Also, does that patch attempt to send signals even when "who" is invoked as (say) "who -q file"? That doesn't sound quite right. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
