Along these lines how would some one start multiple applications? Consider: AddToMenu Tails "Tails " Title + "Messages" exec xterm -fn 7x13bold -T \ messages -fg white -bg black -j -rw -aw +sf -sl 200 -sb -e \ tail -f /var/log/messages I have 5 or 6 tails that I bring up and sometimes I would like to bring up different groups of them. I tried + "All" Exec exec xterm -fn 7x13bold -T \ Messages -fg white -bg black -j -rw -aw +sf -sl 200 -sb -e \ tail -f /var/log/messages &; \ xterm -fn 7x13bold -T \ Syslog -fg white -bg black -j -rw -aw +sf -sl 200 -sb -e \ tail -f /var/log/syslog & I thought the ';' would work. By the way I have a very unusual problem with fvwm-2.5.2. It just occurred while I was writing this email. And its this kind of problem. Intermittent, (i.e. occurs every couple of days.) It seem to occur under heavy load, and perhaps is connected with a large amount of output to an xterm. What happens is that the output to the xterm freezes, until I bring the mouse into the xterm (FocusFollowsMouse) then every everything is back to normal. This time was unusual because I happened to have 'top' running. The processors were about 75% usage (say), the output stopped in an xterm and the processors wentt o to 100.0% idle, (I was doing a series of builds) I typed this letter for a while and finally moved the mouse into the xterm. The builds started up again and the processors went back to 75% usage again. What I didn't do, I'm sorry to say was type 'ps x' to see what it said. I know that fvwm-2.5.2 is development, but I need to use it because it fixes some serious problems that occurred with an upgrade to xwindows 4.2 fvwm-2.5.2 seems to work fine anyway. I haven't been on the site for a while to see what the latest is. Bruce -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
