Public bug reported: having 2 process instead of one is not a good way to accomplish a such simple work. There should be just one python process named gmail-notify and not 2 (gmail-notify and python ./notify.py). Just 2 little changes should be taken
/usr/bin/gmail-notify should not be a shell file but a link to /usr/lib /gmail-notify/notify.py in /usr/lib/gmail-notify/notify.py 2 line must be added at the top: import sys sys.path.append('/usr/lib/gmail-notify'); ** Affects: gmail-notify (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed ** Affects: Debian Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #gmail-notify process spawning isn't good http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=gmail-notify process spawning isn't good ** Also affects: Debian via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=gmail-notify process spawning isn't good Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- gmail-notify process spawning isn't good https://launchpad.net/bugs/49519 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
