Description

Bug summary:

While using Weechat the terminal running it will sometimes throw an error:
"pidof: can't read from #######/stat"

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install the script.
    2. Run Weechat for a really long time.

Current behavior:

Error thrown in terminal shifting the TUI up three lines.

Expected behavior:

No error thrown in terminal

Suggested solutions:

Either of these makes the error go away:
Restarting Weechat
Make window (if ran in a window) fullscreen then back, or vice versa.

Additional information:

It's really more of a minor annoyance than anything.
This has been going on for YEARS across different versions of Debian and LMDE versions 4/5.

  • WeeChat version: 3.8
  • OS, distribution and version: Regolith Linux 2 (Ubuntu)
  • Terminal: Terminator
  • Terminal multiplexer (screen/tmux/…/none): None

List of installed scripts (as it may be related to one of these):

autostart.py
grep.py
autojoin.py
colorize_nicks.py
autoauth.py
autosavekey.py
chancomp.py
commorkers.py
hl_here.py
i3lock_away.py

##Note:
@flashcode says that the cause is the i3lock_away.py script. As I don't know anything about coding I'm going to take their word for it. As far as I can tell though the script is working as intended despite this.
