[Bug 326117] Re: syndaemon gone after resume on intrepid and jaunty

[Gaute]

Problem seem to persist on Jaunty.
I _may_ have seen it survive a few times, but I am uncertain of the circumstances, and can't reliably reproduce.

Anyway I have found a workaround.

In /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/ I have created "50syndaemon" as follows:

#!/bin/sh
resume_syndaemon()
{
    if [ ! "$( pidof syndaemon )" ]; then
	export DISPLAY=:0.0
	sudo -u gaute syndaemon -d -t -i 2
    fi
}

case "$1" in
	thaw|resume)
		resume_syndaemon
		;;
	*) exit $NA
		;;
esac
exit 0

I cannot quite see how this could be generalized however.
There is the hardcoded username, and I guess DISPLAY=:0.0 cannot always be guaranteed, 
and a user may have wanted other arguments to syndaemon anyway.

I guess the right thing to do is make the daemon survive in the first place.
I would still like to contribute to this, but it would be good to know if I am the only one that have this problem,
and if not, then some guidance on what to try or how to instrument would be good.
