Clean shutdown #193

Closed AckslD closed 7 months ago

AckslD commented 2 years ago

When shutting down my system it takes some time since some process is not shutting down properly and I suspect it is clipmenud, since when I look at the last boot log I see many:

Aug 24 19:49:39 l390 clipmenud[1628470]: Failed creating new xdo instance.
Aug 24 19:49:39 l390 clipmenud[1628583]: xsel: Can't open display: (null)
Aug 24 19:49:39 l390 clipmenud[1628583]: : Connection refused
Aug 24 19:49:39 l390 clipmenud[1628587]: Can't open X display

which I suspect is because the X session is already closed.

Any idea how to make the shutdown better for clipmenu?

I doubt it's clipmenud, because when you send SIGTERM to us, we're will immediately close. The reason you see those messages is more likely because you haven't set up your X services to shut down when X shuts down (eg. by having X shutdown start a target, akin to shutdown.target for your local session).

If systemctl --user stop clipmenud works normally, then your problem is going to be elsewhere.

I see, thanks for you reply @cdown! I'll try to investigate further

Closing since this applies to the old bash version, but please feel free to reopen if there are problems with clipmenu 7
