This is an outrage! I don't do "hacks", i perform highly qualified high-tech science development for the sake of future generations!1 Seriously, what's all the excitement about. The additional test i wrote for "nodm" works well, but i won't submit the patch yet, because i've been talking to the BSD folks, and they require yet a different type of test (which is actually very straightforward: "check for a nologin file"). I want to complete the test in that regard before submitting it. Isn't the BSD solution the punchiest of all? No runlevels, no services, no signalling fireworks, on-point semantics: "shutdown sets nologin, so nodm should not log in. The end." I have made a couple of interesting experiences when writing "jack-autostart". So far there's been no IPC problem i couldn't manage using signals, but when doing so, i found a little bug in "jackd" when it comes to shutting down a device driver due to a hotplug removal event. So, in this particular instance, it wasn't an init system or operating system that caused me trouble, but a small bug in one of the involved component programs, that, if everything goes well, i will even be able to fix. I think that's how it works - as soon as one seriously is using a system, one finds bugs and tries to get them eliminated. That's how stuff improves. Hopefully. Anyway, i see no need to bash each other's heads in like this. Kind regards, T. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
