"Pkg: Error reading from file"

See original GitHub issue

I am using frontail to monitor the log files coming from the DAQ system of a neutrino detector. We’re very glad to have this tiny tool, thanks!

The DAQ system runs on CentOS and I decided to get the self-contained binary, however sometimes when I start frontail, I get the error:

Pkg: Error reading from file.

And the whole package seems to be broken. I then have to download it again (in fact I keep a backup copy and overwrite it regularly as a workaround).

This is probably caused due to the fact that when I run frontail with the --disable-usage-stats, I cannot quit it by pressing the CTRL+C keys, but I have to kill it using kill -9 PID. I guess some files might get corrupted due to this hard shutdown.
