I am used to open a note pad from time to time, anywhere in my
workplace. My note pad is a plain text file edited through vi in
xterm and i can pop it up either by key composition or selecting
a menu item in fvwm2 root context.
Often it happens i try to open my notes file twice simultaneously,
having forgotten a vi session is already active on another desktop
of my workplace.
Here my question follows: is there a viable solution in order to
avoid opening twice the sape file?
A further question comes to my mind:
May it be possible to apply a condition to the execution of a command
in fvwm2 ? In affirmative case, the window manager could be asked
to execute a script file; then, depending on the result, to start
one function or another. In the present case, the script would
check whether the requested (my notes) file is already open.
thank you
Paolo Pumilia
