Subject: [Systrace] Automatic policy reloads
Message-ID: <20060725160033.GE15105@cybertron.cyth.net>

Hi,

I've noticed that when I update a policy while running a program under
systrace -a or -A, the policy is automatically reloaded without having
to restart systrace.  What are the specific rules for when this occurs?
This does not appear to happen when using xsystrace or the GTK systrace
notification program.

Systrace periodically writes policy changes to disk and also
periodically checks for updates.  This is useful when you have
multiple shells that are being systraced.  The rules right now are
just a timer that checks every 30 seconds or so.
