ive noticed sometimes feedindicator just stops working, or stops updating and needs
to be killed and restarted to work. i suspect this happens when network gets disconnected
and it tries to update when computer is offline

Hi there,

Thanks for the info. It could well be related to the computer being offline. I think
the feedparser times out after a minute or two, so the program might appear to be hanging
until that point.

I'll do a few tests and see what I can do.

Thanks

I disconnect/reconnect to the network at least 10 times a day, but this bug does not
happen every time, only once every 2 or 3 days I would say.

Not a long-term solution, but here is a small script to quickly kill/restart feedindicator:

ps aux | grep feedindicator | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2; }' | xargs kill; feedindicator
