it will continue running until the Hurd is rebooted, and then the Hurd will forget its existence.
It will continue to run till the day you kill it, be it with `settrans -ag', figureing out which pid it has and using `kill' or killing the system. I don't want an active translator, Unless you don't want to access the cdrom, you do. i actually want a translator that is "more passive" than what is currently defined as passive. A passive translator is meta-data in the file-system, you can't be more passive then that. It only becomes active when you access the node in some way. > is there an easy way to allow me to eject a cdrom when not in > use and retain the passive translator? > > settrans -ag /cdrom The option -g only works when setting a passive translator to replace an active translator. the point of those options is what do you do with the active translator that is still running. No, -ag kills the active translator. You wanted to be able to eject the cdrom and retain the passive translator, `settrans -ag /cdrom' does that.
