The following reply was made to PR ports/51759; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Mikhail Teterin <Mikhail.Teterin@murex.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, cyrille.lefevre@laposte.net Cc: Subject: Re: ports/51759: Maintainer update: astro/setiathome (manual page fix, etc.) Date: Fri, 16 May 2003 19:00:42 -0400 Cyrille! Your changes to the setiathome.sh startup-script now lead to shell errors on startup -- missing quote. I added the quote, and hit another error. I'll be sending you my update -- including the upgrade to 3.08 for FreeBSD in a separate e-mail. Please, take a look. As far as the new start-up script, I'm not sure it is worth the extra shells (per CPU) to run to automaticly restart setiathome if it exits. Even if you are convinced, such auto-restarting is desirable (I'm not), it should be one sleeping shell per machine -- not one per CPU, don't you think? My dual CPU box has four setiathome-owned processes runing instead of 3. Someone's 8-way monster will have 16 instead of 9 :-) Finally, with the amount of shell scripting required for this, may be, it would be easier to write the seti-helper in C? Yours, -mi
