Follow-up Comment #3, bug #45582 (project screen): Well the problem is that it might be that there is no user involved. If "screen" is used to keep the console of a daemon process open, then simply failing will fail the startup of the daemon process.
I don't see any difference in handling the directory creation evaluating the EEXIST flag or not. I any case some other process can steal the directory, where this instance of "screen" created the directory or not. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45582> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
