Re: Spawning Xdialogs from devd...
Even if running X under root, it's the same behaviour. Unless devd is restarted, there is no sound or xdialogs. If I restart devd from another console, then the sound device becomes available and sound can do you restart devd from xterm? if so - DISPLAY gets set be heard, but no Xdialogs. If devd is restarted from within X, then both sound and Xdialogs are ok. This is with any window manager, and nothing much else is running here to screw things up. The script is definitely being run on the keypress each time. There's obviously something I'm missing about devd here. ln -s /home//.Xuathority to /root/.Xauthority and of course add DISPLAY=:0 before Xdialog ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Spawning Xdialogs from devd...
G'day.
This is an X61 laptop, and I'm trying to use the Fn keys to call scripts to do
various jobs, while informing users or getting input using Xdialog popups.
Here's an example case. Rebooting the pc if pressing Fn+F4.
[/etc/devd.conf]
...
notify 10 {
match "system" "ACPI";
match "subsystem" "IBM";
action "/root/bin/acpi_oem_exec.sh $notify ibm";
};
[/root/bin/acpi_oem_exec.sh]
...
#!/bin/sh
NOTIFY=`echo $1`
case ${NOTIFY} in
0x04)
/home/rep/bin/script.sh &
MESSAGE="do script"
;;
*)
MESSAGE="nothing found"
;;
esac
...
[/etc/sysctl.conf]
...
dev.acpi_ibm.0.events=1
[/home/rep/bin/reboot.sh]
...
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -f /tmp/reboot ] ; then
touch /tmp/reboot
title="Reboot computer"
msg="Laptop is rebooting immediately..."
Xdialog --title "$title" --beep --ok-label "OK" --infobox "$msg" 5 40 2000 >
/dev/null 2>&1
wavplay /home/rep/sounds/shutdown.wav > /dev/null 2>&1
shutdown -r now
fi
exit 0
>From a fresh boot and startx, pressing Fn+F4 from the window manager (Window
>Maker) calls the script and executes, but no Xdialog or sound. If I startx and
>run devd in the foreground with:
sh /etc/rc.d/devd stop && devd -dD\
all is fine, Xdialogs displayed and sound too. Likewise, if I restart devd from
an xterm (sh /etc/rc.d/devd restart), all is fine:
However, if I restart devd from an ssh term or another console, only sound, no
Xdialogs.
I'm curious to know what is actually going on here. I wouldn't have thought the
context from which devd is restarted would make any difference, but clearly it
does. Any clues?
Also, does anyone have any ideas how I can call Xdialog to get the windows
displayed?
Many thanks,
Gary
