If you're running multiple X so close... the script now works when i run it from a console- it pauses and when i switch to the X display, the xmessage is there. but when the apm event triggers it, it still doesn't show. yet the logger command works. the echo command may not, i'm not sure. anyway, i put "export DISPLAY=:0.0" in the script, and that has at least taken me one step in the right direction. now if only it would work when the system ran it.... jm -- --------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick -- jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org Break free of The Matrix.
