For Broadcast Appliance, this is provided as part of the 'rdselect' package. This package is completely optional (and, in fact, rather useless if you're running a stand-alone or single server setup), so just remove that package to make RDMonitor go away. If you're installing from source, simply deleting the 'rdmonitor' binary after doing 'make install' is your best bet. I may look into adding a '--disable-rdselect' switch for 'configure' in future versions. > Any way to disable RDMonitor so it does not start at boot, or to hide the > window it generates?

Yes, I'd like to find a way to make it play more nicely with the various 'panel' applets out there. The challenge is to do so without introducing a lot of dependencies on various exotic desktop toolkits (GNOME, KDE, <your-desktop-of-the-month>) that are not integral to the core functionality of Rivendell.
