Xpra: Ticket #1706: attach by session-name or multi- or all
- It would be a convenience for users to be able to perform command-line actions such as
xpra attach
or xpra stop
by referring to a session-name instead of a display-id.
- It would also be convenient to be able to specify more than one session-name or display-id for a command, and for such commands to fork asynchronously (multi-core micro-processors and all that), eg.
xpra attach :1 :2 :3
- It would also be convenient to be able to refer to all sessions, eg.
xpra stop all

Done in:
Supporting "xpra attach all" would be much harder (lots of command line arguments to forward, etc), so I won't do it for now.
@Boruch: please close if that works for you. (feel free to create a separate ticket for "xpra attach all" for a future milestone)

Managed to add xpra attach all
and xpra detach all
without making the code too ugly: r17827.
Wed, 03 Jan 2018 05:02:13 GMT - Boruch:
Using version r17825, I verified that xpra stop
worls for multiple servers when explicitly defined, and that xpra stop all
succeeds when more than one xpra instance is LIVE; However, when only one xpra
server is LIVE, attempting xpra stop all
returns an STDERR message:
xpra initialization error:
unknown format for display name: all

However, when only one xpra server is LIVE, attempting xpra stop all returns an STDERR message
Thanks for spotting that, this is fixed in r17837.
