Failing to start block when waking from sleep
Hi,
Upon waking the computer, often the block fails to start. This occurs when the computer went to sleep during a previous block - for instance, if the computer went to sleep during a block from 9pm to 7am, and is then woken during a block from 9am to 6pm. Looking at the syslog, I found the following:
Aug 13 10:46:45 georges-mbp Auto-SelfControl:
[ERROR] SelfControl is already running, ignore current execution of Auto-SelfControl.
Aug 13 10:46:45 georges-mbp com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.parrot-bytes.auto-selfcontrol[73333]):
Service exited with abnormal code: 2
It seems that upon wakeup the auto-selfcontrol script is run before the SelfControl daemon has a chance to clear itself.
It doesn't seem that the macOS launchctl utility has many options for starting daemons at a delay after wakeup etc, so I went for the simple solution of putting
time.sleep(1)
in the main function for the script. This should hopefully give the SelfControl daemon time to remove itself.
Possibly you might want a more elegant solution, but if it works I'll submit a PR anyway.
