https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293556

           Summary: akonadi server started multiple times  /  konsole does
                    not find akonadiserver
           Product: kontact
           Version: 4.8.x
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: ckirst at nld.ds.mpg.de


Version:           4.8.x (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

after starting linux i have a akonadiserver (and several resource processes)
running (e.g. confirmed by top)

opening a konsole typing:

akondaictl status 

however says:

Akonadi Control: stopped
Akonadi Server: stopped
Akonadi Server Search Support: not available

akonadictl stop
does nothing !

and

akonadictl start

then starts a second instance of the akonadiserver
(in the top list i have two akonadiservers ?)


moreover using Alt + F2 i can stop the initial akonadi processes started
with system start with
akonadictl stop


the problem that arises in this way is that if i start a application
that relies on akonadi (e.g. kontact) it will start a second 
instance of the akonadi resources which are not stopped after klosing
the konsole !!!
After a while i end up with a large number of akonadiserver and sub processes!

I observe the similar behavior with the nepomukserver !


i guess this could be the source of several more strange behaviors of
akaonadi / kontact 

Any ideas on the source of this error and how to fix this ?

Thank you
Christoph




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
start linux

check that akonadiserver is running (e.g. via top)

open konsole

type: akonadictl status
> Akonadi server stopped

akonadi start
starts a second instance of akonadiserver 



Actual Results:  
from konsole the running akonadi server is not found
two akonadi servers running

Expected Results:  
akonadictl status from konsole should give 
Akonadiserver is running !
