Cronjobs, using wcd inside a cron is probably not a very good idea, but someone might think it dandy to not have to type the whole path, and then you can run into trouble (not only the race condition of course, but it would be possible for wcd to race another wcd for sure).
wcd is intended for interactive usage, not for scripts. I only have one nightly cron job that scans my home drive. For this the function is not needed, the binary can be called directly.
I know, but people will abuse it. Be ready for bug reports. And it *is* a bug. What's this reluctance to use the shell's PID as someone suggested? It's a trivial enough change. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
