It works fine without > gpmctl, so why make so much noise?
And that last line so so fscking childish, it looks like some late night debugging line that was accidentally left in. At the very least, remove that stupid text. I also saw similar messages when using pinfo, although curiously /dev/gpmctl was replaced by /dev/pts/0 (the controlling tty): Sep 24 18:14:37 moordrecht pinfo: *** err Sep 24 18:14:37 moordrecht pinfo: /dev/pts/0: Permission denied Sep 24 18:14:37 moordrecht pinfo: *** err Sep 24 18:14:37 moordrecht pinfo: Oh, oh, it's an error! possibly I die! I didn't notice anything wrong until logcheck bugged me about it, so it might as well not say anything. (Why attempt something gpm-related with /dev/pts/0 ?!)
