The intent is stated clear, 100% clear, by their collaborative actions via busybox.net you moron Hyman. http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2006-September/058295.html "start-stop-daemon incorrect pid Rob Landley rob at landley.net Thu Sep 7 01:02:36 UTC 2006 Previous message: start-stop-daemon incorrect pid Next message: start-stop-daemon incorrect pid Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Wednesday 06 September 2006 3:46 pm, Stephane Billiart wrote: > On 06/09/06 ? ? 11:11, Natanael Copa wrote: > > Creating pids in several applets sounds like bloat. > > I've already posted this patch I've been using for months on my system > to create pidfiles for monitoring purposes but it never made it to the > SVN tree. > > I split the patch in two parts, the first adds writepidfile/removepidfile > to libbb and the second modifies inetd, syslogd and crond to use it. > fakeidentd is another daemon that could use this but it also does a > fchown on the pidfile so I did not modify it here (I don't use it anyway) Looks reasonable, except: 1) Please use your own copyright notice. We're not the FSF, you don't assign copyright to us. And legally assigning copyright isn't trivial, which is one of the issues in the SCO vs Novell lawsuit. A decent summary is here: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20040326223857634 Putting Erik's copyright notice on it is not an "instrument of conveyance", and if we go to enforce copyrights on a joint work it would SUCK for the other side to be able to point out examples showing that who owns what is unclear. (Note that we don't always list every copyright in the files, especially when we add a small chunk to a large existing file. Instead we mention the contributor in the SVN checkin comment for that commit. I just don't want there to be _false_ information in there.)" LMAO! regards, alexander. P.S.
