Zeitgeist only handles one request at a time, so the Quit will be alone. The next (queued or not) request should wake it up again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Zeitgeist Framework Team, which is subscribed to Zeitgeist Framework. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/690795 Title: How safe is the Quit method over DBus Status in Zeitgeist Framework: New Bug description: We had the following discussion on IRC ------------- <abner> seiflotfy, so, any app can quit the zeitgeist daemon via dbus? <seiflotfy> abner, yes <seiflotfy> :) <abner> seiflotfy, hmmm, why? <seiflotfy> abner, dunno :P <seiflotfy> abner, i really dunno why i put that * abner asks God: Why? <seiflotfy> u dont have to cover it though <seiflotfy> abner, actually you shouldn'T <seiflotfy> abner, but i think it could come in handy <abner> it's madness to let the user quit the daemon and screw all other app :D <seiflotfy> abner, why will it scre wit up <seiflotfy> ? <abner> yes, I will not support it :) <seiflotfy> in python-zeitgeist and libzeitgeist we actually reinstall the monitors when zeitgeist quits and start again <abner> well, lets consider that I have an app that basically only uses Zg <seiflotfy> abner, yeah <abner> then some other app just shuts the zg daemon down <abner> my app is screwed :) <seiflotfy> abner, no <seiflotfy> nto at all <seiflotfy> abner, because zeitgeist starts up automatically once a dbus call is made <seiflotfy> :) <seiflotfy> and the libraries should be able to reinstall monitors <seiflotfy> :) <abner> yes, but what about my pending requests? <abner> are they all gone? <seiflotfy> ah you mean during an async <seiflotfy> ? <abner> yes, sure <seiflotfy> yeah that is a problem <abner> hehehe <seiflotfy> but usually we act fast enough <seiflotfy> so in theory it could be a problem <seiflotfy> but never happens <seiflotfy> and no1 uses it <seiflotfy> :P <seiflotfy> i thought it would be a good idea to have a process that monitors zeitgeist memory ocmsumption and kills it after it uses 15 MB :P <abner> we shouldn't trust on it, Murphy always appears when we are not expecting.. better cover this situation in the future <seiflotfy> +1 <abner> seiflotfy, the linux system can do it <abner> I mean, shutdown the daemon <abner> or you can provide a special tool for admns <seiflotfy> did not k now that <abner> something like this <seiflotfy> just ignore the quit dbus method <abner> actually, dbus also has a command that restarts the daemon <seiflotfy> I will discuss with the team <seiflotfy> that we shoudl throw it out <abner> but it tries to ensure that all process will live without him <abner> ok, no problem <abner> I mean, I don't think that having this option is a problem. I just think that we shouldn't trust only on the Zg speed.. we should cover it better and make it *really* safe * abner should be noting all this for future reference.. damn <seiflotfy> abner, u should file bugs <seiflotfy> :P _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zeitgeist Post to : zeitgeist@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zeitgeist More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
