[Fluxbox-users] restart fluxbox *from virtual console*

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

sometimes it happens that fluxbox hangs and I would like to restart it. I
know I can restart it from the menu (and via keyboard?), but I remember
there is an option to restart fluxbox from a console via

killall -s ???? fluxbox

what is the signal I have to send to fluxbox to restart, so that my windows
stay open?

I know I could do

killall fluxbox

and then login again, but then all my programs would be closed.

Cheers,

Rainer

SIGHUP would be the signal, as in

the manpage does not reflect reality in that aspect, point taken.

Thanks - that's what I was looking for.

Would be great if this could be added.

Hi,

you can also use
fluxbox-remote Restart
if you have fluxbox-remote installed.

Mathias, thanks. It's interesting. The SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 can be also
used to recofigure. Didn't know that.

regards,
Maxim

Interesting - never paid attention to fluxbox-remote
