What were you trying to do?
Figure out why reactivate on my girlfriends Linux machine
blows away the X socket; but that is so not important right
now, it isn't funny.
What's wrong:
reactivate (on the sun, and I'm sure the other athena
supported platforms) always tells the zhm to reset state.
What should have happened:
The reset should only happen if ZCLIENT is true in rc.conf,
since that is a condition for rc to have started zhm in the
first place.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
replace this line:
if [ -f /etc/athena/zhm.pid ] ; then
with this one:
if [ -f /etc/athena/zhm.pid -a "${ZCLIENT}" = "true"] ; then
Yes, I know this is extraordinarily nit-picky. However, it is the
right thing for a machine that isn't a zclient.
