I guess I mixed two issues - not loading unspecified components, and generalizing the POSTGUI_HALFILE scheme. > turning around ... > Why couldn't we load the gui with loadusr axis -<path to ini> > (This is a loaded question - I do this in a gscreen sample config to load > gscreen and AXIS) > if we add -W then HAL will wait till the gui is ready then you don't need a > POSTGUI file. uhm, thanks. Didnt think of that. In that case it should suffice to remove loading of unspecified components from linuxcnc.in. However, if that way of starting the UI is used, I dont yet see how linuxcnc.in knows to wait properly for the UI as per DISPLAY= to finish, as there wont be a 'DISPLAY=' in that case, and I dont see an obvious way to wait on 'HAL component suchandsuch unloaded'. let me try that out, maybe there some easy way -m > > again I may be missing the point... > > Chris M > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Live Security Virtual Conference > Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and > threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
