Attachments:	strace from hal for daemon=yes strace from HAL with correct callout

Description Danny Al-Gaaf 2005-08-19 19:05:55 UTC

I changed the fdi file for hald-subfs-mount (90-bock-subfs.fdi), but you can 
also reproduce this by change 90-fstab-sync.fdi e.g. on fedora, and added a non 
existing callout (changed hal-subfs-mount to hal-subfs-mountt).

As I restarted hal as daemon (and only in this case) hal dies without any 
errormessage. After a strace I notice HAL didn't die, HAL exited (and cleaned 
up). This should not be the correct behavior. I can't find the reason for this. 

I attach a part of strace with and without changed fdi file for the related 
callout.

strace from hal for daemon=yes

This part of strace was from HAL in daemon mode with the changed, non existing
callout. If you start HAL with --daemon=no in strace nothing happens. No exit.
