Hi Raul,Approximately 2-3 evolution processes stay around running in the background after you quit: evolution-alarm-notify, evolution-data-server, and evolution-exchange-storage (if you use Connector). I'm not sure if all of those stay around, but at least a couple do. Running evolution-2.0 --force-shutdown is supposed to really kill everything.Hmm...not good. No, not good at all. I sure don't appreciate an application doing stuff like this without anything in the documentation to even suggest this.
perhaps you'd like to enlighten us on how to set off calendar alarms without having any processes running? evolution-alarm-daemon keeps running and possibly evolution-data-server (I think alarm-daemon depends on this?) evolution-exchange-storage does not
Or worse the inability to make it stop (short of a logging in and logging out - though I still need to test whether it actually stops even through that).

The more I kick Evolution (like one would kick a tire) the more I am beginning to realize that this program has a lot of problems that still need to be ironed out. The last time I tried Evolution over a year ago it was a joke. Constantly crashing.
wasn't constantly crashing for most people... if it was, we wouldn't have shipped it.
It's gotten a whole heck of a lot better and the developers and others involved in the 2.0 release are to be applauded but all this makes me wonder if I want to encourage business use of Evolution. I need a robust and rock solid application and am wondering if Evolution fits that bill.
I'd say it is pretty robust.
Even when I looked at the recent bugs fixed list I couldn't believe that Evolution had, until the bug was fixed, not kept emails on a POP server when told to do that. Among a huge list of other bugs.
yes it did, that was a short lived bug that was caused by another fix for broken pop servers. -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Novell, Inc. fejj ximian com - www.novell.com
