I'm using P9P on debian/testing linux system, primarily to run acme. As part of my script to start acme in my preferred configuration (autoindent, 3 columns, specific fonts), I run the following "ensure_plumber" script:
#!/bin/sh if 9p stat plumb > /dev/null 2>&1 then exit else plumber fi to ensure that the plumber is running. If the plumber isn't running when I start acme, it gets started and right-clicking on a URL in acme opens the URL in my web browser. If I quit acme and start it again (with the plumber still running), it doesn't start a new plumber, and again right-clicking on a URL in acme still works. However, if I log out of linux, and log back it, I can see the that the plumber is still running. When I start acme, it correctly does not start a new plumber, but when I right-click on a URL, nothing happens. At this point if I manually kill and restart the plumber (without restarting acme), right-clicking on the URL works again. I expect that arranging for the plumber to get killed when I log out would solve my practical problem, but I don't understand what is actually going wrong. Can anyone provide any insight? thanks, Peter Canning
