Hi! I'm trying to write a script in which a message is displayed by xmessage if X is running otherwise message is displayed by echo
I tried this : if [ -f /tmp/.X0-lock ] then xmessage message else echo message However lets suppose that I'm running X and working on a Virtual Console. the file /tmp/.X0-lock would then exist. How do I now display the message using echo ? Please guide P.S. I'm using FreeBSD (It's kinda cool ;)). I guess the working of X is same under all Unices. -- Nikhil nikhiljoshi.cjb.net -- _______________________________________________ http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
