--- Begin Message ---Package: imagemagick Version: 4:5.5.1.1-2 Severity: wishlist My comments in this script describe the problem -- and the workaround that is the script. #!/bin/bash # display should do this internally. # If it's important that -remote only succeed when there is a pre-existing # process, then there should be a -force option or envariables or something. # And in any case, display should not have an exit with a status of 0 when it # fails. # This is complicated in order to preserve the stdout and stderr of display on # the stdout and stderr of this script -- probably unnecessary. # Regarding >(...) construction: # "Process substitution is supported on systems that support named # pipes (FIFOs) or the `/dev/fd' method of naming open files." # use exec? exec display -remote "$@" 2> \ >(if awk 'BEGIN{stat=1} /Unable to connect to remote Display/ {stat=0; next} {print} END{exit stat}' >&2; then \ display "$@"; fi) \ & # background the whole thing because I don't want to figure out how to background just the no-"-remote" case # the exit status of display is worthless anyhow... -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux beth 2.4.19 #1 Mon Aug 26 00:56:45 EDT 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US Versions of packages imagemagick depends on: ii libmagick5 4:5.5.1.1-2 Image manipulation library (free v -- no debconf information
