Subject: ivman: does not start per-session
Package: ivman
Version: 0.6.10-0ubuntu1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Although README.Debian claims that "We run it as a user daemon", it does
not start automatically for me and there are no instructions for how to
make it do so. I ended up creating the two included files to add ivman
to the regular xsession startup.
I don't understand the rationale for not also providing ivman as a
system service as recommended by the ivman author, but it would still be
helpful to provide /etc/init.d/ivman even if it is not enabled by
default.
*** /usr/local/bin/ivman-xsession
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 <command>" >&2
echo " Runs ivman as a daemon until <command> finishes."
exit 1
fi
ivman --nofork &
PID=$!
echo "ivman started ($PID)"
trap "kill $PID && echo 'ivman killed'" ALRM HUP INT PIPE PROF TERM USR1
USR2 VTALRM ABRT EXIT
eval "$@"
*** /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60sma_ivman-launch
# $Id:$
# In order to activate the session ivman at X session launch

if grep -qs ^use-session-ivman "$OPTIONFILE"; then
if [ -x "$IVMANLAUNCH" ]; then
