Re: [9fans] multiple acme instances with plan9port
Two years or so ago I found the script below, allowing you to start any number
of instances of acme. E.g. if you name the script acme9 you use
acme9 -n 1, acme9 -n 2, etc., each of which can followed by the usual arguments
you wish to pass on to acme.
Thanks to whomever wrote this.
Mark.
#!/bin/sh
[ $1 = -n ] { export NAMESPACE=/tmp/ns.$USER.$2; mkdir -p $NAMESPACE;
shift; shift;
}
9p ls plumb/ /dev/null 2/dev/null || (cd /; 9 plumber)
exec acme $@

Re: [9fans] multiple acme instances with plan9port
Yes. It's clumsy. issuing Local plumber starts it. you could try changing fsys.c:124: if(post9pservice(p[0], acme, mtpt) 0) to post acme.$pid instead of acme. it's fairly trivial, however might break something. i don't have time to check it right now. (there's a global var mainpid. i ithink it is set by the time of the post) 2012/11/7 Sergio Perticone g4ll...@gmail.com On Wed, Nov 7, 2012 at 4:53 PM, Bence Fábián beg...@gmail.com wrote: you can try this as a quick fix: $ mkdir /tmp/ns2.r $ NAMESPACE=/tmp/ns2.r acme maybe write a wrapper script for it But probably you should also take care to run (another instance?) of plumber(1) in the same namespace. s.

Is it possible at all (considering plan9port lacks true namespaces support)? I need more than one acme because I have not very big display (19) but please don't suggest buying a bigger display ;) It's a work around, but when I need multiple acmes I use ssh -X localhost and open an acme from there.

Re: [9fans] multiple acme instances with plan9port
Thank you all,
I've ended up with this wrapper:
; cat $home/bin/acme; echo EOF
#!/usr/bin/rc
NAMESPACE = `{mktemp -d}
plumber /dev/null [2=1]
#font = $PLAN9/font/lucm/unicode.9.font
font = '/mnt/font/Droid Sans Mono/11a/font'
exec $PLAN9/bin/acme -ab -f $font -F $font $*
EOF
it works fine now letting me use as many acmes as I wish.
Though I lost my -l $home/acme.dump option in exec acme string
because it will certainly bring problems. I tried writing a test for
an acme running and skipping -l option if there is but it looked so
ugly that I dropped the idea, I write and click Load command when I
need it instead.
Also I don't use any programs interacting with acme so still not
having problems with isolated namespaces.
