Hi,
I'm running rawhide these days again and during yum update I quite often
see messages like
> Updating : gedit ##################### [173/382]
> gconfd-2: no process killed
> Updating : deskbar-applet ##################### [174/382]
> gconfd-2: Kein Prozess abgebrochen
> Updating : gnome-terminal ##################### [175/382]
Looking closer at the spec and at the Gconf session on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/ScriptletSnippets
it seems they run
killall -HUP gconfd-2 || :
to make sure any running gconfd-2 pick up newly installed schemes. But
well, as you can see from above output there might be cases when no
gconfd-2 is running, thus killall will print a warning.
I think we should avoid such useless warnings -- thus it would seem
better to me to use killall with "--quiet" or use
killall -HUP gconfd-2 2> /dev/null || :
instead. What do you guys think?
