Package: laptop-mode-tools
Version: 1.11-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
When setting VERBOSE_OUTPUT=1 it truncated /var/log/acpid and only
the last few lines are present.
This is due to the "> /dev/stdout" redirections.
This is solved by changing them to ">> /dev/stdout"
Hyper-compressed patch :-)
sed -i 's/ \(> \?$OUTPUT\)/ >\1/g;' laptop_mode
BTW maybe this should be notified to the acpid maintainer as well
as this is not normal that a simple "client" handler can kill
all the logfile of acpid!
Just for fun because it puzzled me:
$ echo one > /tmp/t; ( echo two >/dev/stdout ) >> /tmp/t;cat /tmp/t
two
So you can indeed destroy a file even with the >> operator!
