Yep, I've seen it too. I've been getting logged off more often than usual and Bob's script looks useful. One problem though, when I get logged off xboard puts up a dialog that halts everything until clicked on by a user. Unfortunately, that is going to hang the shell script Bob posted. Oops, it just hit me looking over the "ics" script a second time. I'm guessing the xboard command-line options: -xexit -popupExitMessage false elimate any show-stopping popups. I guess it's time to RT*M the xboard man page :) regards, --tom On September 23, 2002 at 16:28:04, Robert Hyatt wrote: >On September 23, 2002 at 15:40:38, Frank Phillips wrote: > >>On September 23, 2002 at 15:32:12, Robert Hyatt wrote: >> >>>On September 23, 2002 at 14:56:22, Brian Richardson wrote: >>> >>>>Hi.
