tdeinit - TDE process launcher
tdeinit is a process launcher similar to init used for booting UNIX.
tdeinit is used to start all other TDE programs.
Unless some other dev says different I'll use tdeinit.
Best,

The catch is, it's theoretically possible to run TDE with a different
window manager. So twin may not be the best process to test for. Maybe
dcopserver? Or tdeinit, or ksmserver? On Thursday 12 November 2020 01:44:00 pm Dr.

Thank you Nik!,
Is there any difference to using?:
if [ "$(pidof twin)" ]; then echo "TDE RUNNING"; fi
It seems to work the same, but I ask ‘cause there a tons of hidden
‘gotchas’ that aren’t ever really documented.
