Hi there,
I'm sorry about the imprecise category tag. In my current project I use
commons.exec in order to launch instances of avahi-publish and
avahi-browse. Thanks to the help I received here so far everything
seems to be working nicely :)
Obviously the avahi-* binaries depend on the avahi-daemon to be active.
How do I determine if a daemon is active? I have several ideas, but I'm
not sure whether they will work on any UNIX/Linux distribution.
1) Search /var/run for avahi or avahi-daemon
(on archlinux it would be in /var/run/daemons)
2) Exec ps -ef | grep avahi and parse output
(should work on any posix compatible system?)
The second alternative seems rather failsafe to me, but maybe you can
surprise me with a more elegant solution with less overhead?
Thank you for your time and effort
