[Geany-Users] cannot run multiple execute commands

[Jan Alster]

Hi, 





just in case somebody else runs into this issue, I have found out what is 
the cause (at least partially). Turns out that the default terminal emulator
of Ubuntu (gnome-terminal) will not get killed by Geany with the second 
press of F5, whereas the default terminal emulator of Debian (xterm) will 
be. Using gnome-terminal as Geany terminal allows running multiple python 
scripts at the same time even in Debian.




Thanks everybody for help :)

Jan

what was the version of Geany. I have another installation of Geany on 
windows (installed about the same time as my old linux system) and that is 
version 1.26 (from 2015?) and it does behave as I have described - I can 
spawn multiple python scripts without destroying the previous ones. It uses 
default 'python "%f"' command for F5 which does not seem as doing any tricks
to detach the spawned process. The new version of Geany is 1.33.

to test it and it does kill spawned processes as well. On the other hand, 
new version of Geany on windows does not kill them. I am baffled. Probably I
need to look outside of Geany.

Well, the answer is that it is not intended to be possible, there is
no code to manage more than one execute process. Maybe some old
version(s) (1.26 is 5 years ago, who remembers ... well ok github
does, but I'm not an archeologist :) had a bug that allowed it, and
maybe the behaviour is different on windows, but that is not the
intention.

switched to new Debian system and now I cannot run multiple python scripts 
from Geany (via F5) at the same time. On my previous system I could run many
and the spawned terminals were open as long as the scripts were running 
(pressing F5 the second time seemingly detached the terminal from Geany and 
third press of F5 could start a new script in a new terminal). Now the 
spawned terminal closes immediately after pressing F5 second time (and it 
kills python even if it is not finished). strace shows that the terminal 
gets SIGTERM from Geany. Is that a new feature? I cannot find a way how to 
keep the terminal running.
