Hi,

I'd the same problem and wazs not able to find the solution ! So I decided to modify ksmserver (in kdebase) in order to run a script when KDE goes down. It is very simple, but I've to recompile at every release of KDE.

My preoccupation was too avoid to shutdown KDE when vmware is running. I solved both problems at the same time.

Ready to share my modifications.

Michel.

Did you provide your patch to the kde devs via http://bugs.kde.org? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Hi

I am running SUSE 9.3 on a notebook.

I want to run a user script when KDE goes down - where do I have to place such scripts?

I heard that you can put any shutdown scripts into the directory ~/.kde/shutdown but nothing happens.

I realized that the environment variable KDEDIRS is not set.

Does anybody know how I can run a script if KDE goes down?

Ready to share my modifications. Thanks for this information. Does your solution require to re-build KDE or is it only a script modification? If it is the latter, I am very interested in it. Otherwise, is there another solution?

It is very simple, but I've to recompile at every release of KDE. I need to recompile and install only a very small part of kde : the directory "ksmserver" in kdebase ! It takes less than 5 minutes and everything is OK. ok, can you send me your modification. Regarding recompiling, do you have a how-to as well?

Hi there, I also use Suse 9.3 with the default installation. In my $KDE_DIR (i.e. /opt/kde3/) I have a shutdown directory. Inside, there's a file called stopkde.suse.sh ------- BEGIN ------- < fk@jedi:/opt/kde3/shutdown > cat stopkde.suse.sh #! /bin/sh if test -n "$SSH_AGENT_PID"; then ssh-agent -k fi if test -n "$GPG_AGENT_INFO"; then pid=`echo "$GPG_AGENT_INFO" | cut -d: -f2` if test -n "$pid"; then kill $pid fi fi echo "yes yes yes" >> /home/fk/test.txt ------- END ------- After editing this file (as root), and adding the echo command above, I've logged out twice of my KDE and looked at my test file.. ------- BEGIN ------- < fk@jedi:~ > cat test.txt yes yes yes yes yes yes ------- END ------- Therefore, there's is a script that is executed every time KDE exits. Thus, you can add your own script inside this one, as long as you have this directory, shutdown, inside your $KDE_DIR. But this is another story. Good luck! Carlos Costa Sami A. Hassanein wrote:

You could create a ~/.xsession file that contains something like this:

------------ $WINDOWMANAGER <call to your script>

I use SUSE9.3 and KDE 3.4.0. I created the file ~/.xinitrc and put my script as you suggested, but nothing happend - it was not being called. Now I am looking for a solution sincd weeks and I really do not know how to achieve this. There must be a way to call a user script at closing of KDE of X.

-- Any help is very much appreciated. Regards, Sami

Actually I just wrote down $KDE_DIR referring to the /opt/kde3/ directory. That doesn't mean it exists as an environment variable. :-) Well, for me the script has definitely executed. Cheers, Carlos Costa Sami A. Hassanein wrote:

echo "yes yes yes" >> /home/fk/test.txt ------- END -------

After editing this file (as root), and adding the echo command above, I've logged out twice of my KDE and looked at my test file..

I have the same script in /opt/kde3/shutdown, but this script will never be executed!! Do you really have the environment variable $KDE_DIR set? I never heard of this env variable.

Hello, In order to replace my patch, I tried the different suggested ways, they work, BUT the script is runned after kde shutdown and the kde apps are not cleanly closed. It is the reason why I patched kde, my script is runned before leaving kde and kde apps are closed correctly. Regards. Michel.
