Release Candidates :: DSL-2.1 RC2



Ok, here's what I did to reproduce the errors in a plain vanilla frugal DSL2.1RC2...

Opened a terminal, and alternately ran the commands "pidof xtdesk" and "icontool.lua".  The first time i ran icontool, xtdesk restarted as expected, but each time afterward i received an error from xtdeskRestart.sh.  Also, each time there was an additional xtdesk PID.  With icontool, I just started the script and then pressed "OK".
Code Sample
dsl@box:~$ pidof xtdesk
868
dsl@box:~$ icontool.lua
dsl@box:~$ pidof xtdesk
868 911
dsl@box:~$ icontool.lua
/usr/bin/xtdeskRestart.sh: line 2: [: 868: unary operator expected
dsl@box:~$ pidof xtdesk
868 911 922
dsl@box:~$ icontool.lua
/usr/bin/xtdeskRestart.sh: line 2: [: 911: binary operator expected
dsl@box:~$ pidof xtdesk
868 911 922 933
dsl@box:~$ icontool.lua
/usr/bin/xtdeskRestart.sh: line 2: [: too many arguments
dsl@box:~$ pidof xtdesk
868 911 922 933 944
dsl@box:~$ icontool.lua
/usr/bin/xtdeskRestart.sh: line 2: [: too many arguments
dsl@box:~$ pidof xtdesk
868 911 922 933 944 955
dsl@box:~$
Thanks mikshaw, I will get this squared away for RC3.
* bg color gets stuck after playing around with the different styles.
(keep having to use xsri to change back)

* startup still has an empty right-click menu appearing by itself.

* about the links/mc debate, whatever is decided i think the 'man'
cmd should be repaired to whatever is to render the page or else
just say not-available. A lot of newbies (and me) like using man
pages in times of 'urgency', and it's a bit frustrating to see
"sh: line 1: links: command not found." each time.
Humpty, I've noticed the menu comeing on when you startup. Not really a problem :-p . As for the blank menu, did you do a HD install?

No, it's boot from loadlin and regular restore off the usb pendrive.
It's not really a problem, just bit odd. It's fine afterwards.
