14 Thanks, Kern. I've tested it with a Linux RH 6.2 master and
15 an OpenBSD 2.7 slave. Your 25 Feb snapshot fixes both issues.
16 Thanks for your efforts.
18 I have also attached a minor patch relative to your 25 Feb
19 snapshot. It addresses the following issues:
21 - elimination of an unnecessary lock file for OpenBSD
22 - change of lockfile path for OpenBSD
23 - allow for some Makefiles to not exist during
24 - recursive makes (platform independent)
25 - cleaned up restart code for OpenBSD
27 FWIW, since I have (new)BackupsPro UPSes, I didn't use the exact
28 test you mentioned (unplugging the serial cable), but rather
29 killed the master, waited a bit, then restarted it. This shows
30 the problem with 3.8.1, and shows it fixed with the 25 Feb patch.
