Eventually this should be configurable of course, but having a break out key combo that returns with a different exit code to indicate to the wrapper if it should be restarted or not is a good idea indeed. You could of course also do something like "/etc/init.d/console-client stop" in the console client... Thanks, Marcus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
