348364 - Sunbird thinks it is already running, when it isn't

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

Description

[johan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020
Build Identifier: sunbird 0.3a2 on fedora core 3 on amd64. 

Whenever sunbird goes down unexpectedly (f.ex an X server restart), it cannot be restarted, as it thinks that it is already running.  A dialog box saying "Sunbird is already running" pops up. 

A complete removal of the ./mozilla/sunbird directory is required to convince it otherwise.  Copying the storage.sdb file back into the new directory will allow the calendar info to be kept. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. kill -9 sunbird
2. attempt to restart
3. fail to restart




(I could have sworn this would have already been reported but 3 searches failed to turn up previous bugs.

Works for me with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060812 Calendar/0.3a2+

Did you check if the process named "sunbird-bin" is running too? Killing the process "sunbird" doesn't close Sunbird.
