Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: IOhannes m zmölnig (zmoelnig) Assigned to: Miller Puckette (millerpuckette) Summary: disable "rt" flag if watchdog cannot be found

Initial Comment: currently, if you start Pd with the "-rt" flag and it cannot find the pd-watchdog executable (for whatever reason), it will misrably fail $ pd priority 6 scheduling enabled. priority 8 scheduling enabled. sh: ...../pd-watchdog: No such file or directory pd: watchdog process died pdsend errorname: >>error writing "sock8": broken pipe<< $

the attached patch fixes this, as it first checks whether there is a file called ${pdpath}/pd-watchdog, and if it cannot find it, it will disable rt priviliges.

PS: i thought i already committed this some days ago, but cannot find it anymore...
