Now, there is one extreme side: * hey user, the pid 85757 is locked, figure out what to do (exaggeration, on purpose) The other extreme is: * hey user, we just killed another SM, next time watch out The latter is bad, but the former is no better -- there is _no hint_ what user could actually do. And you said -- is should be up to user, it should be user decision. So now, let's imagine such dialog. "Another SM seems to be running at the same time. [ retry ] [ kill other SM ] [ cancel ]" Is this user decision? 100%. Is it easy to user to manage any crashes, deadlocks, etc? Sure. And I wish such behaviour -- that I, as user, does not have to search for solution. Just answer one-two questions, one confirmation, and voila, I am in SM. Of course this is not about details -- there could be internal communication, so SM could ensure the other instance is really running. There could be [ ] advanced options sections, and so on, but I just wanted to show the big picture, the middle ground between user on his own and SM leaves no space for user decision. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
