[Mldonkey-bugs] [bug #13198] *.ini files ought to be more crash resistant

[spiralvoice]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #13198 (project mldonkey):

"MLD is usually started from /etc/init.d/mldonkey_server"
This is part of the Debian package and maintained by Sylvian.

"Almost all the time after a clean shutdown of the computer, MLD will refuse
to restart on the next reboot"
This is a known bug of the Debian package.

"The most common error seems to be that there are leftover ~/*.tmp files and
MLD dies more or less quietly"

"Another thing that has occurred in the past was that an ~/mlnet.pid file was
still around again preventing a restart."

.tmp files are leftovers if the core was not able to save its
ini files properly and indicate unstable system hardware or
the core was killed with -9 before it could properly stop itself.

The problems you mention ae related to the MLDonkey package,
the daemon itself can´t do much about it. But with the newly
ini backup feature with its 10 generations you will be better
prepared for overwritten ini files in the future.

If you don´t object I would like to close this bug.
Please open another bug with your compilation problem if it is
still present in current MLDonkey 2.6.3
