Only thing problem is that mutt just waits till netscape is closed before you can use it again. Someone out there might be able to find a way around that, also the above thing doesn't check to see if you're in X before trying to run netscape, which isn't all that nice. Just noticed that someone posted a message to this thread with RunningX in it. Probably better to grab that file compile it and then add something like ; test=RunningX to the end of what I mentioned above or just do what they say. -- Don't tell me I'm burning the candle at both ends -- tell me where to get more wax!! - David Clarke [EMAIL PROTECTED] | David Clarke s3353950 GPG Fingerprint : 869B 53DD 5E80 E1F0 93F6 9871 0508 0296 5957 F723 PGP signature

Not if you left netscape running on your console when you left your
computer, and you're logged in remotely to use mutt. I do this every
day The safest check is to talk X. You can might be able to
find standard shell tools (xlsatoms, xlsclients, etc.) that return
well-defined exit statuses under known conditions on all platforms, but
I wouldn't count on it.
Since I'm not sure this is in the archive enough times, I'll include a
