No, no. --all-sessions always succeeds, but then there is no way to
determine if one of the sessions that it returns is dead or not, except by
sending a message to each. If I send a message to one that is dead the
script will hang.
It would be nice if it returned a status code (or anything) instead of
hanging.
It's been since forever since I did anything with DCOP. If I read right up
thread you're doing this a root? So is there anyway to get the PID(s), check
which are zombies, then just kill them? Here's some commands to start with
(which you probably already know ;)
ps aux | grep -i dcop
ps aux | awk '$8 ~ /^[Zz]/'
^ last command blatently stolen from
