Hi all, A while back I asked how to start console apps automatically in a certain konsole session. I just want share the little script I wrote last night: it launches the atop utility in an existing session named "Atop". Might be the general idea behind is useful for somebody out there. That's why I've put a few more comments in it ... Rgds, Stephan. -------------- snip here ----------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh ### ### Script to start certain apps in konsole sessions automatically. ### ### Requires the "dcop" utility to be installed and the konsoles must ### be started with the "--script" option to enable extended features ### like sendSession. The sessions must exist already. ### ### Here we go ... ### Looking for all konsoles. for i in `dcop konsole\*` ; do ### Checking if the "sendSession" feature available. if [ `dcop $i session-1 functions | grep sendSession | wc -l` -eq 1 ] ; then ### sendSession available, continue. ### Looking for all sessions. for j in `dcop $i | grep session-` ; do ### What's the name ? NAME=`dcop $i $j sessionName` ### If the name matches a predefined session name, launch ### the desired application. if [ "$NAME" = "Atop" ] ; then dcop $i $j sendSession "atop" fi # if [ "$NAME" = ... # add here more names and commands. # fi done else ### sendSession not available. echo "Konsole $i not started with the \"--script\" option". fi done exit 0 -------------- snip here ----------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
