Why use a module for something so simple? AddToFunc MyPeriodicFunc + I PipeRead 'echo SendToModule FvwmButtons ChangeButton clock Title $(date +"%R %a %d.%m.")' + I PipeRead 'str=$(/bin/ps -A --format "%C %P %c" | sort -n -r | tail -n1) ; echo SendToModule FvwmButtons ChangeButton topproc Title "$str"' + I Schedule 15000 MyPeriodicFunc Schedule 3000 MyPeriodicFunc The "topproc" calculation can be tidied up. This is just a proof-of-concept. SCoTT. :)
