Hey everyone. Has anyone ever seen this when starting screen, or
detaching from screen:
Could not write /var/run/utmp: Interrupted system call
And when creating new windows:
Could not write /var/run/utmp: No such process
Utmp is one of those unix-y things I never bothered trying to
understand, right up there with sendmail.cf, and nis+. But my Spidey
Sense tells me that years ago was a writable file, but maybe now it's
safely managed by a daemon. That's just a bad guess though.
Oh I should mention I haven't rebooted since this started happening.
I can still attach to the 2-week old screen session (which is why I
haven't rebooted -- I have apps I don't want to end quite yet). I'm
sure rebooting will fix it. I'm mostly just curious, especially since
I've used screen obsessively for almost a decade.
Any ideas about what's going on would be entertaining. Thanks.
Setup:
Dual 600mhz PIII
Ubuntu 5.10
Kernel 2.6.12-9-686-SMP
Screen version 4.00.02 (FAU) 5-Dec-03
