I'm actually much less concerned about the reading of /etc/localtime; what bothers me is that tmux wakes up periodically at all, and thus prevents the CPU and other hardware from sleeping as effectively. I only mentioned uname and /etc/localtime as an aid in tracking down the source of the wakeups. I'd guess that tmux wakes up periodically to redraw the status bar, because it assumes that the status bar might have the time in it. Ideally, I'd suggest checking the status bar format once when set, and using that to decide whether to wake up periodically to update it. The ideal strace should show tmux not waking up periodically at all. *That* patch seems much easier to convince upstream of. Eliminating a couple of stat calls doesn't actually solve the underlying problem. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
