<str1ngs>pkill9: I hear ya

<pkill9>is there a way to watch for sigusr signals in a guile script?

<pkill9>i want to run a daemon that waits for these signals

<RhodiumToad>(sigaction)

<pkill9>thanks RhodiumToad

<RhodiumToad>though honestly signals are messy and may not be the best way to wait for events

<pkill9>yea i found it laggy

<pkill9>what would be a better way

<pkill9>?*

<RhodiumToad>guile does defer the call to a signal handler until the interpreter reaches some safe point, which may be an issue depending on what your thread is doing in the mean time

<RhodiumToad>what sort of things is the daemon doing?

<RhodiumToad>reading a fifo is one of the obvious alternative methods

<pkill9>basically it just runs a swaymsg command

<pkill9>it go to prev/next workspace, skipping a specified workspace

<pkill9>calling it each time has some noticeable lag, not terrible, but not great

<pkill9>a fifo would work yea

<pkill9>is there a guile function for creating a fifo?
