Hi All,
I’d like to add a <preuninstall> to the tde.pm that checks to see if TDE is
the currently running desktop. On the theory it’d suck if someone
un-installed a desktop while in that desktop...
Would one of the TDE dev’s be so kind as to point me in the right direction on
how to do that (the uninstall process runs as sudo)?
Thank you,
Michael

if [ ! -z "$(pidof twin)" ]; then echo "TDE RUNNING"; fi

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.
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?

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,
Michael
