Description Stefan Sperling 2004-07-20 07:49:03 UTC 
When starting apm via /etc/init.d/apmd start, using the default /etc/conf.d/apmd
it complains as follows:

  /usr/sbin/apmd: unrecognized option `--proxy-timeout'
  usage: apmd [-c seconds] [-P apmd_proxy] [-p percent] [-qVvW] [-w percent] [-?]

in /etc/conf.d/apmd it says: APMD_OPTS="-P /etc/apm/apmd_proxy --proxy-timeout 30"
removing the --proxy-timeout 30 option solves the problem.


apmd version installed: apmd-3.0.2-r3

I'm using the sys-apps/apmd-3.0.2-r3 ebuild also. I see the exact same "unrecognized option" error. I also see the same solution, and I use this solution.

Therefore I suggest the solution should be to comment out the "--proxy-option 30" and perhaps make a note in a comment next to this commented option, why the option is there in the first place / what the plan is or was.

For every day apmd stays the same, people can install 'apmd' and experience non-working APM on Gentoo. Thanks in advance.

Fixed InCVS. Thank you for reporting this.
