It appears that, with fast machines, dctrl tries to use the FIFO pipe that is
created before it has been properly set up.
This seems to be a known problem with dctrl - there are apparently a few
fixes.... I used the following of my own and, as it has worked for me, I have
not implemented any others!
The code: system("sleep 1"); was inserted just after line 453 in diald.c. The code
block now reads:
.....
} else if (buf[7] != 0 && buf[7] == ' ') {
syslog(LOG_INFO,"FIFO: full monitor connection to %s requested",
buf+k);
j = 255; /* Heavy weight connection requested */
k = 8;
system("sleep 1");
}
.....
I know this is a bit of a cludge but it works fine and only pauses diald while dctrl
starts up....
Best Wishes,
Pieter
