Is there a way to make TDE aware of running non-Trinity applications so that they can be resurrected after Logout/Login? I have at least one X11-based application (X2 - The Programmer's Editor) that I use extensively, and it would be nice if it could remember across Logout/Login events. I'm wondering if something like a DCOP wrapper might do the job?
Load the application into your autostart dir. /home/foo/.trinity/autostart Also, check the program's setting to see if it has an autostart feature.
Yes, that would work if I wanted it to start at every login, not just if it was running when I logged out...
Once upon a time there was a little kingdom where all applications held the X11 standards high and the grand master of session management called
So I guess you're saying that there's no way to get TDE to notice my X2, then.
You can use the autostart dir [1], but you'll need to do the work yourself. You could add a wrapper to starting X2 and a script in the autostart dir. Or better would be a check script in the shutdown dir (if it exists) and a corresponding script in the autostart dir.
Here's some out of context code from something else, hack-and-slash as needed.
#!/bin/bash /path-to-X2/X2 Pid=`pgrep -f /path-to-X2/X2` if [ "$Pid" != "" ] ; then # echo Already running... # ps "$Pid" touch /home/foo/.trinity/apps-to-restart/X2 exit fi
In any event, what you want can be done, it just might be painful.
