Is there a reason it should?
Maybe to disambiguate a clean exit from a crash? To
avoid the error message? Or even just to avoid
irritating users (as opposed to developers)?
I agree. Why can't we have wmii write "Quit\n" on
/event in response to us writing "quit" on /ctl?
Think of "Quit\n" as confirmation of our "quit"
request to wmii. Our wmiirc can then exit/clean up
gracefully upon reception of this confirmation.
I also think that a Quit event would make sense, in order to let
everything quit more gracefully. There is almost always a reason to quit
things the "right" way (not at least from a semantics perspective).
Maybe a bit exaggerated example for this, but is there any reason not to
turn off your computer by pressing the power button instead of shutdown
-h now? Or using kill -9 $(pidof <insert_your_favourite_app_here>) to
close an application?
Anyway, that's just my opinion :)
