Comment 5 for bug 1038221

I have used the command you suggested before the pkill and this is the output:

########################################################################
nicola@nicola-Pangolino:~$ ps aux | grep "unity-applications-daemon"
nicola 2687 0.0 0.3 495412 15528 ? Sl 08:41 0:01 /usr/lib/unity-lens-applications/unity-applications-daemon
nicola 8463 0.0 0.0 13616 928 pts/0 S+ 12:42 0:00 grep --color=auto unity-applications-daemon
nicola@nicola-Pangolino:~$
########################################################################

Then I have tried the command pkill, but the daemon doesn't close. It remains running. So I have run the system monitor and killed the daemon from there. After, I have opened the Dash and finally executed again your command. Here the output:

########################################################################
nicola@nicola-Pangolino:~$ ps aux | grep "unity-applications-daemon"
nicola 8470 0.0 0.0 13612 928 pts/0 S+ 12:46 0:00 grep --color=auto unity-applications-daemon
nicola@nicola-Pangolino:~$
########################################################################

Until I restarts it, there is no more applications daemon running on my system. And if I restarts the daemon, there is the message I have pasted in the bug description.
