<davidz> hughsieafk: hmm, command-not-found is Doing It Wrong(tm) ... try uninstalling the screen package and type screen and have command-not-found install the package and then run the command... <hughsieafk> davidz, well, we launch the application we've just installed * hughsieafk confesses to have never used screen <davidz> do you just exec(2) the command? <hughsieafk> well, g_spawn_commandline IIRC, but basically <davidz> that sounds a bit wrong you want to reuse the same pid <hughsieafk> (with the command line arguments passes to cnf) <davidz> IIRC there's a lot of unixy stuff to be done if you want to do this... halfline and mezcalero probably knows better <hughsieafk> davidz, i try to hide from as much of that as i can <davidz> I think just using one of the exec(2) family of system calls will work the main thing, IIRC, is that you reuse the same pid also make sure you close all descriptors and have stdin, stdout and stderr as they were given to you hmm, actually <hadess> davidz: i think it would probably be fine to just error out until that's implemented <davidz> you don't want to mess with the file descriptors handed to you also you should never print out text on stdout or stderr or read from stdin <hughsieafk> davidz, i'm happy to take _tested_ patches :-) <davidz> to work with the cases where pipes are set up <davidz> instead use /dev/tty to interact with the user bail out of course if you can't open that...
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
