I have the following problem that I haven't been able to track down. Basically, it is that xconsole stops working after some time (less than an hour?). I have some reason to believe that it is related to a problem with the named pipe it uses (/dev/xconsole). I don't know if this is a kernel problem with named pipes or if this is a bug in syslogd. I have syslogd configured to send all messages to xconsole:
*.* |/dev/xconsole
xconsole is started like this:
xconsole -geometry 800 -notify -verbose -fn 7x13 -exitOnFail \ -file /dev/xconsole
The reason I think it might have something to do with the pipe is that I also occasionally get an error in syslog from dctrl (the diald control program for X) that there is an error writing to the pipe it uses to communicate to diald.
I don't know what's up. Maybe this is a know problem? If so, is there a fix? If not, any ideas?
I an running Debian (current with hamm), the pre2.0.31-2 kernel, and xconsole (xbase 3.3-3), and syslogd 1.3-17
Thanks for any help, Erv Walter
