minimwatch on linux: running as daemon vs manual start (can't run multiple instances)

[tarnkappe]

Hello Simon,

I had upgraded to the mentioned new MinimWatch version. But it did not change anything. After rebooting I have tried again to run bin/minimwatch/bin/startc and it did fail again with the message "can't run multiple instances with the same configuration file".

So I tried to uninstall it by running bin/minimwatch/bin/uninstall. This removed the bin/minimwatch directory in my home directory. But it did not ask for root privileges so that the following files were left on the system:

/etc/init.d/minimwatch
/etc/rc0.d/K01minimwatch
/etc/rc1.d/K01minimwatch
/etc/rc2.d/S01minimwatch
/etc/rc3.d/S01minimwatch
/etc/rc4.d/S01minimwatch
/etc/rc5.d/S01minimwatch
/etc/rc6.d/K01minimwatch

I removed them manually. So I could try a new, clean installation with the 0.8.4.7 package.

~/bin$ ./minimwatch/bin/setup

MinimWatch desktop integration is disabled
MinimWatch automatic startup is disabled

Do you want to change these settings (y/n)?
y
Enable desktop integration for MinimWatch (y/n)?
y
MinimWatch desktop integration has been enabled

Enable automatic startup for MinimWatch (y/n)?
n

Now it did not ask for root sudo and the /etc/init.d files are not installed. So I think one have to remove the files once manually?

(What would be the advantages of starting minimwatch automatically at system boot?)

Greetings
Gert
