Hi,

As I said earlier we want the hobbit client script to remove the temporary files and kill the rogue processes when stopped, mainly so the hobbit-client installation/upgrade process through cfengine runs smoothly.

Here is a patch to the debian hobbit client init script to do the following actions when the hobbit client is stopped:

• remove the /var/run/hobbitclient-runtime.cfg file
• kill the unwanted vmstat processes that were left running
• remove any files owned by hobbit from /tmp

Patch may be applied on 4.2.0 with allinone patch applied, using:

cd hobbit-4.2.0 patch -p1 < /path/to/patch/hobbitclient_clean.patch

Comments to help polishing this solution are more than welcome!

Cheers Gildas
