Kinda like bash's `` and $(). What Kris's command does is write the line "exec `{wi_script}" to the file "rc.wmii.local" so that it executes wmiirc (the shell equivalent of the rc script rc.wmii/rc.wmii.local). This way, even if 9base is installed and tries to run the rc script instead, the local rc script then calls the shell script wmiirc. Just escape the backtick: [...@bar ~]$ cat << EOF > .wmii-hg/rc.wmii.local exec \`{wi_script wmiirc} EOF Thomas On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 10:37:39PM +0100, Julien Pecqueur (JPEC) wrote: Kris Maglione wrote: On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 09:16:13PM +0100, Julien Pecqueur (JPEC) wrote: In the console i've probably found a way : i can see a message like >>> /usr/bin/wmii9rc : found rc but not read - you probably have an out of date 9base installed. If you have 9base installed, wmii runs rc.wmii instead of wmiirc. Just do, cat <<EOF >.wmii-hg/rc.wmii.local exec `{wi_script wmiirc} EOF chmod +x .wmii-hg/rc.wmii.local Are you sure of the ` before {wi_script wmiirc}??

But mokeys are not yet modified :'( i found what is wrong! i have to modify on the rc.wmii file and remove the wmiirc local file ! now i can modify modkey, color, term, statusbar... thank everybody for the help! thank you the developper for that great piece of software! here my newbie's status bar : http://julienpecqueur.com/uploads/scrot_2009-01-13_23-24_1024x600.png :-P
