Mike, An interesting idea ... I have been running top via a telnet session. Sometimes the screensaver is seeable in top's output and sometimes I don't see it (in a 25 line display), so that wasn't getting the job done. A little experimentation with ps, grep, and perl lead to the script below. It executes nicely via rsh. #!/usr/bin/perl # # show.screensaver - identify and display xscreensaver # $ps_ef=`ps -ef | grep xscreensaver | grep -v grep`; $xscreensaver = substr($ps_ef,9,5); $proc=`ps alxw | grep $xscreensaver | grep -v grep | tail -1`; $command=substr($proc,69); ($program)=split( " ", $command); print $program; So far, it has shown 'lisa', 'gltext', 'cynosure', 'xlyap', and 'ripples'. Could be, it'll actually work! Thanks for the suggestion. It was an inspiration! David
