Just curious: what's wrong with ctrl-alt-backspace to quit dwm? Exactly. That should work for any setup using an endless loop. Yes, it will work, but apps you are running in that X also exits. And that is all about. I think arg meant that in that setup one can: a) exit dwm the normal way to keep looping, and b) use ctrl-alt-backspace to break out of said loop... Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will be useless when DontZap option has been set in xorg etc.

Greetings, Sander. Not know much about that, just curious! :) If functions are more vital, maybe other wms should be take into consideration, like fvwm.

Hi! Why that complex? I only put this line at the end of my ,xinitrc: echo -en y\nn | dmenu -p restart? | grep -xq y exec $0 2007/3/22, Sander van Dijk [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On 3/22/07, Jeff Zhang [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 3/22/07, Sander van Dijk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 3/22/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On (22/03/07 09:06), Anselm R.

Just curious: what's wrong with ctrl-alt-backspace to quit dwm? I'm remotely logging into the server with the X clients using X -query $server. When I do Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, I the whole X server goes down. Yes, I could write a loop about the X server on that machine as well, but I don't want that. I like the SIGUSR1 approach (which, btw, currently does not work for me at all, but I'll have to find some time and look why it does not work, perhaps my way of feeding STDIN to dwm is the problem).

Still, it's strange it doesn't work for you. Regards.

Szabolcs Nagy [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: while true do cat $DWM_PIPE done | /usr/bin/dwm it looks like a busy-loop shouldn't there be a sleep in there? Though on the first look it seems to be one, in fact it isn't. $DWM_PIPE is a fifo, so the loop idles most of the time unless there is written something new to $DWM_PIPE. (Should have named $DWM_PIPE $DWM_FIFO or so, I guess.)

Thank you!! I wanted to do something like this, but now I don't have to :)
