That would permit you to eliminate the various "sleep > 3" and "sleep 7", I hope? A control program is useful for the reasons you outlined and I skipped, but as far as daemon bootstrap is concerned, the daemons have the built-in retrying and waiting mechanisms which allow to eliminate magic sleeps. So such control program is not needed to get daemons up. I already eliminated the sleep betwenn cld and chunkd. We do need something to keep tests from running prematurely, however, since they are not sophisticated clients that can retry. Currently, wait-for-listen performs this function. -- Pete -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe hail-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
