I've tried now and at first I thought python was complaining, then I |
| 21 |
discovered that this was the actual intended output. ;-) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The problem I've always had with checkrestart is that it's too neat |
| 24 |
(I'd like to see a list of paths to files for each process, for |
| 25 |
instance), too much Debian (no verbose mode, discarding instead of |
| 26 |
presenting information it can't deal with) and not enough Gentoo. I've |
| 27 |
looked into finding time to discover in which ways I could add the |
| 28 |
necessary Gentoo-like bells and whistles, but that little project |
| 29 |
hasn't moved forward in a good while. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
In short, checkrestart's user interface could do with some extras, and |
| 32 |
in your lib_users "hack" all of a sudden we need not rely on lsof |
| 33 |
anymore (and yes, app-admin/checkrestart could easily drop the |
| 34 |
lsb_release DEPEND since we already know which OS we're on - before |
| 35 |
anyone reminds me). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Maybe we should put checkrestart as it is right now into a Gentoo |
| 38 |
repository and start extending and improving it based on your |
| 39 |
experience hacking up lib_users? |
