Moin.
Versions: up to and including 2.0.2
I would appreciate if the last line of the xdvi wrapper would be changed
from
xdvi.bin $NAMEOPT ${1+"$@"}
to
exec xdvi.bin $NAMEOPT ${1+"$@"}
or
exec -a "$0" xdvi.bin $NAMEOPT ${1+"$@"}
in order to be able to get hold of the PID of the running 'xdvi.bin' in
the shell from which I call the wrapper.
As it is I only get the wrapper's PID when I want to do something like
xdvi bla.dvi && echo $! > .xdvi.pid
with the intention to do
kill -USR1 `cat .xdvi.pid`
to request re-reading of the file...
