I only want keychain output to come up on one so looking at the options, I saw the --lockwait option. --lockwait seconds How long to wait for the lock to become available. Defaults to 30 seconds. If it is locked I don't want to bother waiting at all, so I set lockwait to 0, meaning wait zero seconds, don't wait at all. After a few unsucessful attempts (an infinite loop waiting for the lock), a quick look at the script shows that using a value of zero for the seconds seems to mean wait indefinitely for the lock, rather than waiting zero seconds. Is this the correct behaviour (as in expected). If so, maybe a comment to this effect in the man page or help output would be appropriate. agriffis@gentoo.org 2006-09-08 14:39:33 0000 Good point. 0 was supposed to mean forever, but it makes more sense to use -1 for that and let 0 return immediately. Fixed in 2.6.6
