Hi Luca, The issue is getting from where we are to where we want to be without breaking everything. In other words, it interim steps along the way.
Admittedly I haven't thought *too* much about it, but pidof (either one) needs to be installed all the time, without dragging in all of procps. There didn't seem to be a good way of doing it. If you can find this twisty path, I'm happy to hear about it. - Craig On Wed, 19 Feb 2025 at 23:27, Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> wrote: > On Fri, 24 May 2024 01:24:39 +0100 Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> > wrote: > > On Tue, 14 Nov 2023 10:40:33 +0000 Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> > > wrote: > > > On Tue, 14 Nov 2023 at 10:13, Helmut Grohne <hel...@subdivi.de> > > wrote: > > > > So in essence, you asked for changing the pidof implementation > and > > > > Andreas and me try to turn this into a much bigger quest of > making > > it > > > > non-essential.
