Is this a known problem or am I doing something wrong: I decided to try to make a script to switch between my different display layouts by first killing the running lcd4linux process using killall or killall -HUP commands, then modifying the lcd4linux.conf for my second layout and starting a new lcd4linux process. In principle it works, but then I noticed that the killed lcd4linux processes were actually alive! Indeed, they were ghosting in my system all the time... I had a widget running my own script using the exec plugin. If I killed lcd4linux processes my script file was still constantly being executed. Even if I had no lcd4linux processes listed when I typed lcd4linux. Another thing that tells me that the system is still running lcd4linux processes is that when I kill and restart lcd4linux many times I end up having a very high CPU usage in my system. I have found no other cure for that than rebooting the system. Is this behaviour of lcd4linux a bug or should I do something differently when ending an active lcd4linux process? When I have more time I try to figure out if this is a problem in lcd4linux in general or could it be the exec plugin only. I am using Suse 10.0 and the latest RPM version of lcd4linux. Juho Jalava |
