From 69182a318c3ba35f56a88891cabad25d9f7985b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Serge Hallyn Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 00:31:40 +0100 Subject: do check for utmp checking at the right time We were doing the check for whether we need to watch utmp from a thread cloned from that which will actually do the utmp watching. As a result, the utmp file was always being watched, even if it didn't need to be. Move the check to the parent thread.
