 |
|
I use nice program halevt to mount my usb sticks. It startup on new xfce-session, i.e. halevt exists in autostarted applications. But when I do logout, halevt process remains. As the result, after N login/logout cycles there is N halevt processes. Methinks it is a bit wrong. How to solve the issue? Is there something like .xsession-logout where it would be possible to put on something like
(not very elegant solution, but acceptable in case of mine)? |

| I haven't used halevt personally, but in my understanding, if it's a daemon on top of hal/ivman, it should be possible to run it *once* when the system starts up (for example as a system service). That way you can forget about it. |

Alternatively, you can start halevt if there is no halevt already running like this: | Code: | | pgrep halevt >& /dev/null || halevt & |

You should be starting it using the init script:
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/halevt start |
You only need to do this once, it's unaffected by logouts.
To set it so that it comes up when your computer starts, do this:
| Code: | | rc-update add halevt default |

Sometimes you want it to start as the user and not as root. In those cases, you wouldn't want it to run as an init script.
