Hi Alex,
It would be silly for me to assume you tried File,
Open -- to look for your rulebase, correct?
I think this happened to me. You need to do the
following to regenerate your rulebase.fws file:
* Close ALL GUIs!!
* Check for "manage.lock" in your $FWDIR/log directory
to make sure no one is using a GUI. This file only
exists if someone is using a GUI.
* You should still see your rulebase .W file in your
$FWDIR/conf directory -- correct?
* From in your $FWDIR/conf/ directory (you must be in
the conf directory), run this command:
$FWDIR/bin/fwm -g *.W
This will rebuild your rulebase.fws file from all the
*.W files in your /conf/ directory
Now, open your GUI and File, Open (if necessary) to
get your rulebase.
There's a FAQ on this at www.phoneboy.com I think --
but I learned how to do this from several people on
this list (thanks). I've done it MANY times.
If you have any Q's -- let me know.
