Hi,
I've this bug report #89874 :
As seen below, gnome-terminal logs the pid for gnome-terminal in utmp,
rather than the pid of the user's shell, as is expected. (I.e., the PID
recorded for pts/0 should be 1128.)
> ./who -uH
NAME LINE TIME IDLE PID COMMENT
mstone :0 Mar 14 18:15 ? 1044
mstone pts/0 Mar 14 18:16 00:12 1119 (:0)
mstone pts/1 Mar 14 18:16 . 1119 (:0)
mstone pts/2 Mar 14 18:16 00:16 1119 (:0)
mstone pts/3 Mar 14 18:16 . 1119 (:0)
> ps -ef | grep 1119
mstone 1119 1 0 Mar14 ? 00:00:37 gnome-terminal ...
mstone 1127 1119 0 Mar14 ? 00:00:00 gnome-pty-helper
mstone 1128 1119 0 Mar14 pts/0 00:00:00 -csh
mstone 1135 1119 0 Mar14 pts/1 00:00:01 -csh
mstone 1152 1119 0 Mar14 pts/2 00:00:00 -csh
mstone 1168 1119 0 Mar14 pts/3 00:00:00 -csh
And I see in the gnome-libs source code :
* FIXME: Do we want to register the PID of the process running *under* the subshell
* or the PID of the parent process? (we are doing the latter now).
In man 5 utmp I see :
This structure gives the name of the special file associ
ated with the user's terminal, the user's login name, and
the time of login in the form of time(2).
My question is what is the normal way to register PID ?
