Subject: hotkey: troubles with pid's

Package: toshutils
Version: 2.0.1-2
Severity: normal
Hotkey has some problem with his pid file.
1) Please move the pid file either to /var/run and/or make it visible.
Having /var/tmp/.hotkey.pid is IMHO quite ugly.

As you see both hotkey processes die. I'd say one should not. And when
it dies it should remove the pid file.
Additionaly I had a situation where the pid file had survived a shutdown
and hotkey would not display anything when using the Fn keys. Weird.

Based on Jonathan's feedback (upstream author), I am closing this bug
report since he says it is not really a valid bug.

I thought so. The only thing I was not sure about was why send a SIGUSR1
instead of a SIGTERM or something else.

If you would like some help with that, I would be happy to test (I have
a Satellite 2805). I am also a passable C coder.

OK. I knew that this was *not* the case (at least on my laptop) since I
could always use the keys even when hotkey was not running.

OK.

I was not aware of this.
Incidentally, I have two questions:
1. Did you get my previous mail (from about 2 weeks ago)?
2. Do you have any idea why hotkey may not be actually displaying
anything even though it is running? I switched to a 2.6 kernel last
year and I don't recall if that was what caused it to not really work
anymore.
Regardless, the other utilites still work as long as I boot with APM.
