Subject: Starting a second Gnus -- dangerous?
Date: 03 Oct 2000 23:04:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <vaf7l7pk55a.fsf@lucy.cs.uni-dortmund.de> (raw)
I think I did something stupid: I left Gnus running on my machine at
work, then dialed in from home and started another Gnus (on the same
machine). Didn't notice a thing at first.
Now I come into my office and find a running Gnus. Whee. I
immediately hit `q' to quit it, and sure enough, it says no changes
need to be saved, and quits.
I _think_ this means I'm safe, but am I really?
Suppose that the next time my running Gnus hasn't saved all changes
before I go home and it happens again?
M-x gnus-slave RET is not a solution -- that requires me to notice
that a Gnus is already running. And this time I didn't notice.
