start-stop-daemon can use pid files to check for running instances rather than killing all instances. If you can get portsentry to make a pid file, and specifiy that files names, then what you have curently will work.

Which section for wmMatrix?

1999-09-11 Thread Michael-John Turner
Hi all I've packaged wmMatrix, a WindowMaker dock app that displays The Matrix (from the film of the same name). One thing I'm a little unsure about is where to put it. It naturally goes in x11 as it is an X app, but one could also argue for graphics as it is eye candy (like Cthugha, which is
