I don't understand "the 'exec wmiirc' make the current wmiir read /event context a zombie". Shell 'exec' will _replace_ the current shell with the new process, so no zombies (and no new PID). > Btw. I don't see the point why having the same pid is a 'nice' thing? Hmm, i guess it's a matter of taste. Saves one from rewriting the PID file (and i do think a PID file is usefull. I install a SIGHUP handler in my wmiirc that reexecutes wmiirc ... just to make shure i can get it back once i sent the process to configuration nirvana while experimenting).
