Epoptes client does not restart from command-line in non LTSP environment

[Yannis Tsop]

When I issue :

sudo /etc/init.d/epoptes-client restart

in a standalone client nothing happens.

the problem is that before running the daemon the following line is executed:

test -f /etc/ltsp_chroot || exit 0

which returns FALSE on non ltsp setups.

Furthermore stop and restart do not kill the running daemon if it is there.

Currently epoptes-client is not started as a service, but from /etc/network/if-up.d/epoptes-client, whenever a network interface is brought up.

The /etc/init.d/epoptes-client script is just a workaround for older LTSP clients, that don't receive an if-up event. That's why it doesn't do anything on standalone clients, or even in recent LTSP clients.

To start or restart epoptes-client manually, just run:
/usr/sbin/epoptes-client
To kill epoptes-client, run:
pkill -U $UID -f '^epoptes-client$'
