Description

If I installed athcool the add-service.sh is auto run to add athcool to the /var/service and the /etc/sv/ dirs but for some reason, if I ctrl+alt+F1 I see athcool being executed in an infinite loop! I manually ran:

# remove_service.sh athcool

Then simply added the following to my /etc/runit/1

/usr/sbin/athcool on

After a reboot, when I check in tty1, athcool was only executed once. For some reason /etc/sv/athcool runs in a loop.

Sounds like we need to invoke it with a no-auto-detach type option to atcool (which it doesn't seem to have...), or the "once" option to sv.

Try the new version of the pkg. Please verify that athcool is running, but sv does not keep trying to restart it.

ps -ef |grep athcool

&

sv status athcool

Did it. If I Ctrl+Alt+F1 it's not continuously running as it did before.

$ ps -ef | grep athcool root 2651 2643 0 16:38 ? 00:00:00 runsv athcool squishy 3273 3251 0 16:40 pts/0 00:00:00 grep athcool

And

# sv status athcool down: athcool: 156s, normally up

Good job and thank you as always. You rock, Jams.
