Re: [wmii] Ruby-IXP 0.1 - restarting patch

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hello,

I understand the mechanism used by the standard wmiirc to restart
itself (just run another wmiirc process and it will broadcast the
"Start wmiirc\n" to '/event', causing any existing wmiirc processes
to exit from their event loops).

But I'm not understanding the mechanism used to restart the
wmiirc-astro example, because this mechanism is only available as an
internal action:

      when 'restart' then
        Thread.list.each { |t| t.kill unless t == Thread.current }
        "ruby #{__FILE__}"

What happens when another wmiirc-astro process is run? Does the
first one terminate? If not, please see the attached patch which
re-introduces the mechanism used by the standard wmiirc.

Thanks for your attention.
