[SRU Justification] (Vivid, Trusty) Thermald lockfile has been broken during a code cleanup, meaning multiple instances of thermald can be started. This fix is required to re-instate the lockfile functionality while also performing correct closure and removal of the lock file on thermald termination (be it an error or a successful termination). Thus this fix restores the original functionality plus it also cleans up the lockfile too.
[Test Case] Without the fix, one can start multiple instances of thermald, e.g run the following while thermald is running as a service: sudo thermald --no-daemon --loglevel=info With the fix, thermald will detect another instance of thermald (via the lockfile) and terminate with an error message, for example: Couldn't get lock file 21449 An instance of thermald is already running, exiting ... [Regression Potential] Can't think of any. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1480892 Title: thermald: does not check lock file correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thermald/+bug/1480892/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
