I guess I shouldn't suggest that as it goes against the GPL. But even if the main site is hard to find, it shouldn't take long to get the source from somewhere like the Debian packages site.

You could get tac from most pups and it's only around the same size as pTiming.

Another alternative is to emulate "tac" with "sed" and create a function in pTiming.

Great stuff guys
- I will use sed instead of tac. Less dependencies is always good.
- I will fix the global ffontsize issue

tac stays...... (else new arguments)
sed works, but troubles inside gtkdialog code.
It is replaceable, but much cleaner code with tac.

Hello zigbert,
So "tac" is part of the coreutils package. Got "tac" out of a Mandriva 2007 rpm and now your app works as expected. Those using Legacy OS and want to use pTiming just copy the attached file to /usr/bin

pTiming 0.8 works very well.

But when pTiming is quit it sometimes leaves the following running:

sh -c while [ ! -f /root/.ptiming/tmp/end_while ]; do func_time; sleep 0.05; done

It can be seen in top.

I tested here and pTiming closes the end_while-loop when exiting.

How did you operate pTiming to get the end_while-loop to stay alive after closing the program? I need to reproduce the bug before I can fix it.


Thank you
Sigmund

I see
Exit from menu doesn't kill the loop, while using the windowmanager close-button works as expected.

I will fix. Thank you.
