Whether or not $DISPLAY is set is not necessarily equivalent to whether or not X is running. RunningX not only checks to see if X is running, but checks to ensure that the display can be opened. -- Bob Bell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - "Suppose I want to take over the world.

One follow-up question if you don't mind. The RunningX binary is approx. 14K while the shell script is less than 1K. Is there any advantange of using the binary over the script considering it's huge size? TIA. -- Horace G.

RunningX revisited
Hi, I have finally figured out how make RunningX work with ~/.mailcap. Begin RunningX script #!/bin/sh if [ -e /tmp/.X0-lock ] then exit 0 else exit 1 fi End RunningX script I also d/led the RunningX.c code from mutt.org and compiled it as suggested in the code but I get a compile error. I run gcc -o RunningX RunningX.c -lX11 but I get the error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I'm on a RH7 box running kernel 2.2.16 and gcc-2.96-69. Can someone pls. figure out why I can't compile and what needs to be done? I have earlier tried using different RunningX shell scripts that I got from this list but none seem to work except the one above. Oh well I got the above script by doing a www.google.com search. -- Horace G. Friend III [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG DSA/ElGamal Key Fingerprint 9295 80C4 C723 621B 9C2D B53E D432 7936 4CA9 8AD6
