Programmer 2007-12-02 09:03:08 MST --- Refined a little to: exit_trap() { # handily, exit_code is set to $? of y2base. # If there was an error and there is anything to display, pop up. if [ $exit_code != 0 -a -s $ERRLOG ]; then if [ $(echo $(xmessage -buttons OK:0,Snap:1 -default OK -center -file $ERRLOG -print)) = "Snap" ]; then $( cat $ERRLOG > $ERRLOG.bak ) && $( gedit $ERRLOG.bak) fi fi rm -f $ERRLOG } So now, if I press "Snap" instead of "OK", the error message gets copied to bak and opened in gedit. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Very interesting, so I suggest that this knowledge is offered to the uninitiated user somehow. Maybe as prefix to the error message displayed in the xmessage. That is the beauty of Windows, it tells you (most of the time) what you can, should are expected to do. :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
