config question
Would their be a way to configure mutt to test if I am running X, and based off the exit of this, 1 or 0, use a particular mutt variable setting? -- /Jason G Helfman "At any given moment, you may find the ticket to the circus that has always been in your possession."

Gee, I guess you haven't been here forever and a day, have you? :-) RunningX is a pretty clever utility that detects whether the calling process is *actually* running under X (as compared to just seeing if an X server is running, or if your display is set, or even if you're runnning an X server but all of which don't really matter). Check around the mutt.org site, maybe check the archives for mentions of the source, or try Brandon Long's web page or the contrib dir at the mutt ftp site. % -- % /Jason G Helfman % % "At any given moment, you may find the ticket to the circus that has always % been in your possession." % % Fingerprint: 6A32 3774 E390 33B5 8C96 2AA1 2BF4 BD71 35A1 C149 % GnuPG http://www.gnupg.org Get Private! 1024D/35A1C149 :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~davidtg/Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!

What is this all about, RunningX ? is this a process? I just copied what Gary said, but RunningX is a program that checks whether you're running X. It amounts to the attached code. Run it through shell and it produces "ifx" in the cwd which does the same thing. Whee, that was fun. :) -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago ifx.sh
