i also noticed that update-notifier seems to be watching files such as REBOOT_FILE aka /var/run/reboot_required. Watching single files may be efficient in linux, yet i would prefer listening on a message bus. An asymptotic example: watching an infinite number of single files would require infinite resources to keep up with all the queries to the file system.
listening to an infinite number of messages on a serial message bus does not require infinite resources (e.g. mem or cpu), since the number of messages would expand over time, not over resources. i hope this can help somehow in designing a scalable solution here.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548981 Title: Indicator should only turn red after the last package has been installed -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
