Why not just use the -d option when starting espeakup? This causes it to stay in the foreground. No pid file is written, etc. The long option name is --debug. I'd argue that that is a bit of a misnomer, since all it really does is cause espeakup to stay in the foreground. Maybe it should have been called --dontfork instead. I thought systemd preferred non-forking daemons? Anyway, -d is what I use to run espeakup under runit, and it has worked well in practice for over a year. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
