RE: {bb} Permission denied killing bb processes

[Philip Clark <bblist@cannae.uklinux.net>]

The more I look at this, the more I think that the four (or five
if you count the commented one) lines like:

  $PS | $GREP $BBHOME | $GREP -v grep | $GREP -v bb-display >>
$BBTMP/runbb.sh.$$

starting at line 122, were not intended to have the "-v" flag on
the final grep. Maybe it's a cut 'n' paste bug-let, but it only
makes sense to me if those lines are matching the normal BB
processes rather than excluding them.

If runbb.sh is modified, that part of the script will still
manage to stop BB even if the BBPID file is missing. The next
step would be to try and work out why the BBPID file disappears
or gets out of sync. My first guess would be that the ramdisk
might not be available quickly enough after a reboot. Otherwise,
you could always write a quick BB ext script to watch it :)

Cheers, Phil.
