I wasn't aware that it was set from my /etc/zshenv file and i have no idea why i ever put it in there anyways (must have been years ago already). I removed it and now its fine. Thanks, jan
Anyone has a good mailcap RunningX test?
Hi! from my mailcap: text/html; netscape %s; test=RunningX text/html; lynx %s text/html; lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput Where can i find a decent RunningX script? What i want is to run netscape only when i run mutt locally on my pc at home within the window manager. However when i am at work and telnet to my house and start mutt from there i don't want it to start netscape but lynx or w3m. Testing only $DISPLAY isn't good enough cause when i telnet to house it's still set to :0. And also X is found to be a running process because at home i only locked my screen. So i am looking for a way to test if i am running mutt really locally. Who has the ultimate test to do this? Thanks, jan -- ___ ___ ___ / // // / Jan H.

I use the RunningX program available from http://www.fiction.net/blong/programs/mutt/autoview/RunningX.c I downloaded the program and tested it. If you feed it an option it says "yes" or "no" dependent upon if it would return 0 or 1. Regretfully it doesnt work. I tested it from another computer (windows box). From that box i log into my linux server (which happens to have X running) and when i run RunningX, it answers "yes". So thats wrong. Since i am not sitting at that computer it should answer "no". Because now when i run mutt and view an url it starts netscape on the server where i am not sitting an which i can not see! It should start lynx instead in the window i am sitting at at the other computer. Only thing that works is manually unsetting $DISPLAY. Are there other solutions??
Re: Anyone has a good mailcap RunningX test?
Never mind my stupid question. I just found a line DISPLAY=:0.0 in my /etc/zshenv file which always (so also at a telnet session) sets the DISPLAY variable, which caused netscape to start instead of lynx or w3m when, from mutt, i visited an url in a telnet window. I appologize and close this thread. btw mutt is a wonderful program! I even use it at work now. thanks, jan -- ___ ___ ___ / // // / Jan H.

Where may one find this? http://www.fiction.net/blong/programs/mutt/autoview/RunningX.c I suppose you could just test for the presence of $DISPLAY and if it exists, you are running X. Does anyone know of any circumstances where that could fail?
