Along these lines how would some one start multiple applications?
Consider:
AddToMenu Tails "Tails " Title
+ "Messages" exec xterm -fn 7x13bold -T \
messages -fg white -bg black -j -rw -aw +sf -sl 200 -sb -e \
tail -f /var/log/messages
I have 5 or 6 tails that I bring up and sometimes I would like
to bring up different groups of them. I tried
+ "All" Exec exec xterm -fn 7x13bold -T \
Messages -fg white -bg black -j -rw -aw +sf -sl 200 -sb -e \
tail -f /var/log/messages &; \
xterm -fn 7x13bold -T \
Syslog -fg white -bg black -j -rw -aw +sf -sl 200 -sb -e \
tail -f /var/log/syslog &
I thought the ';' would work.
By the way I have a very unusual problem with fvwm-2.5.2. It just
occurred while I was writing this email. And its this kind of problem.
Intermittent, (i.e. occurs every couple of days.) It seem to occur under
heavy load, and perhaps is connected with a large amount of output to an
xterm. What happens is that the output to the xterm freezes, until I bring
the mouse into the xterm (FocusFollowsMouse) then every everything is back
to normal. This time was unusual because I happened to have 'top' running.
The processors were about 75% usage (say), the output stopped in an xterm
and the processors wentt o to 100.0% idle, (I was doing a series of builds)
I typed this letter for a while and finally moved the mouse into the xterm.
The builds started up again and the processors went back to 75% usage again.
What I didn't do, I'm sorry to say was type 'ps x' to see what it said.
I know that fvwm-2.5.2 is development, but I need to use it because it
fixes some serious problems that occurred with an upgrade to xwindows 4.2
fvwm-2.5.2 seems to work fine anyway. I haven't been on the site for
a while to see what the latest is.
