Btw; "on cell tower change only" still doesn't work, just so you know.

Working great, bug fixed!

Unfortunately can't really help you there, I'm using what the documentation claims is the "built in" font in pygame. Maybe reinstall pygame? :/

The option to update location when cell tower changes doesn't work for me. It just activates the GPS every second (with the log message "Sleeping GPS for 0 minutes").

I wanted to take a look over the code to see what's wrong but you submitted pyo files which I don't think it's quite right for an application in free extras/testing repository (should to be open-source).

If you had read one of the earlier posts just before yours, you would have seen that this isn't implemented yet and causes a loop

Having a curious problem at the moment. When starting the ZapLoc daemon from desktop (either via shortcut, Desktop Command Execution Widget or Queen Beecon Widget), it fails to kill the previously existing process, which means that after a few activations there are multiple daemons running.

However, running the exact same command from command line works properly and kills all the previously existing processes.

Not your problem exactly I know, but any tips/ideas?

Could be a permission problem, that in one case you are starting it as "root", other case as "user"? It's "supposed" to be run as "user" and it can kill itself as "user".

Maybe I just need to kill it harder somehow

I just pushed build 34 to -devel (it may not even have showed up there yet) which DOES have an implementation for it... but it isn't terribly good. Frankly, I don't think I will this get this to work in any meaningful way, so it's quite likely I'll remove this from the UI.

Hmm.. I have no idea about how running things from the desktop works, but in the same script I have several dbus calls which work just fine - and these also wouldn't work if run as root, as far as I know?

For reference, here's the command I'm using:
python /opt/zaploc/zaploc-daemon.py -i 60 --gps | echo "" &

(and other variations)

No I meant there is probably an issue in my code. I think that if you have started the daemon as root, my deamon run as user can't kill it. Or likely, doen't even try (the "-a" is missing in my "ps | grep" line used for the killing, methinks)

Great app, thanks.

I cover emergency and event communications so for instance if there is a charity event and help is needed I use a radio relay for support, but having a central control where they can see all support workers and their positions via Latitude comes in very handy.

Couple of questions though please. I would like to switch between other apps and leave this running in the background. I can switch by pressing ctrl-backspace on the keypad, but some other apps (particularly web browser) allow the title bar to appear by tapping the bottom right of the screen, yours doesn't. Would you plan to add that?

Also if I set the daemon to still run after the program exits, it seems to use a 'fast' GPS location which is generally the cell tower nearby. I can see the GPS fire up and shut down but it doesn't get a true lock, whereas if I leave the program running it gives an accurate lock.

Thanks again for your hard work, you are doing a great job.
