Is there a way to have applications that are opening ignore subsequent
> requests to open?
Sure. Change the icon to run a wrapper shell script which checks
first to see if the binary's running. The script would grep the
process table:
#!/bin/sh
#
if [ "$(/bin/ps fax | /bin/grep '/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox')" ]; then
exit 1
else
/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox &
exit 0
fi
Thanks. I just tried this at home, and it seems to work (I'm using
Gnome, but I'm sure that this will work on the KDE set up I have at
work.) The application starts to open several windows, but then all of
them but the first one close.
