Mostly the move out of Google Code (as it restricts free software developers from participating according to their country of origin). >> Tim: I don't integrate *all* of your changes, as they remove the >> possibility of having rotation always on WRT to suspend/resume cycles. >> >> > I found that the omnewrotate process persisted through suspend/resume > without help from the scripts, that's why I took them all out. > Presumably whatever gave you problems in the first place has gone away > (unless I'm misunderstanding you). Oh, really? That's nice to know, I will check it out then. Previously it would just hang, so I hacked the resume/suspend .d scripts to cover that. > I found that the two approaches (init.d vs suspend/resume scripts) > conflict as you end up with multiple processes after a resume if you > have both systems running (one from init.d and an extra one fired up by > the resume script).

What might conflict is the script placed in Xsession.d (one process is started in the init script, and then another one from Xsession.d The suspend script uses "/usr/bin/killall -9 omnewrotate" so that shouldn't happen, and the init script isn't ran when resuming, so I doubpt the suspend/resume scripts are the real culprit. >> One who doesn't like/want that feature, can always define START="no" in >> /etc/default/omnewrotate.conf and/or remove the resume.d and suspend.d >> scripts. > > Thanks for all your hard work.
