Much more sense, indeed :) So you're talking about virtual desktops, a totally different thing than Xorg displays. Forget about startx.
E can run an application at startup and remember some of its settings, including (but not limited to) virtual desktop and size. To do it you would just have to right-click its title (or alt+rightclick inside it) and choose window->remember. But you don't want to run an application, you do want to run a complex command many times and have each one of the resulting windows treated like an application. You can then create your own application file and put them in ~/.local/share/applications with a .desktop extension. It's just a text file following the FDO specs. For example I have one file to launch terminology running a script that run tmux inside it, this is what is in it: max@rubino:~$ cat ~/.local/share/applications/tmax.desktop [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Exec=terminology -e tmax Name=Tmax Every app file should have a different name so that you can further list them in your ~/.e/e/applications/startup/.order file. This is what mine contains: max@rubino:~$ cat ~/.e/e/applications/startup/.order numlockx.desktop tint2.desktop tmax.desktop pidgin.desktop icedove.desktop iceweasel.desktop Now you can make E remember for every app the virtual desktop where to place it, but there's another problem: how to match every single window? They're all urxvt window, so you can't match them by name or class. You can still match them by title, but every window should have a unique title. Urxvt should have a command line option to set its window title, I think every terminal have it, so just look in its man page and put that option in the command in your .desktop file, and you're done ;) Bye Massimo Danny ha scritto il 27/12/2015 alle 10:00: > My apologies, I should've given a better explanation ... > > At the moment I have 8 virtual desktops inside of Enlightenment ... on 4 of > these desktops I have urxvt terminals that monitors different types of data > ... > the problem is that everytime I start enlightenment (via startx on the command > line) I have to go to each virtual desktop and start these terminals manually > ... > > What I want to happen is that when I start enlightenment via startx I want a > urxvt terminal started on 4 of these virtual desktops with the commands to > automatically start the data logging ... > > I hope that makes more sense ... > > Danny > > On Dec 27 15, Massimo Maiurana : >> To: enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net >> Date: Sun, 27 Dec 2015 09:33:09 +0100 >> From: Massimo Maiurana <maiur...@gmail.com> >> Subject: Re: [e-users] Start app in different display >> User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 >> Icedove/38.4.0 >> X-BeenThere: enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net >> >> What examples? >> AKAIK startx runs a Xorg session on a given display, to open several >> displays you would need to run several times startx with different >> display number, but I guess that's not what you want to do. >> >> Are you sure you are thinking about real displays?
