Yup. The script I use to start acme (in p9p) in my preferred configuration (autoindent, 3 columns, specific fonts) uses my '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. This works nicely for me, as I can exit and restart acme, and the plumber continues running. When I log out of this linux system, however, t appears that the plumber is not killed, and the next time I log in and start acme, the script sees that the plumber is still running and doesn't start it. Unfortunately, that running plumber doesn't seem to be work right because when I click on a URL in acme it doesn't get opened in my web browser. I have to kill and restart the plumber to get this to work. I haven't been able to figure what is actually going wrong. Any hints or suggestions would be gratefully accepted. thanks, Peter Canning
