Hi Robert,

Would it be improper for me to suggest that a Switch User toggle be added to the Exit Options dialog? I find myself sharing the laptops with my wife regularly and it's a little tedious exit to shell, logout each time.

I've not tried Frugal or Poorman's install, so I don't know if the multi-user environment is used there or not... and that is why I ask with if it's appropriate.

I've been able to get some of it done on my own, but haven't figured out how /etc/init.d/functions5.lua calls the logout processes.

I would hope the Switch User option would exit to shell and then logout the current user.

Here is what I've been able to achieve so far in exit.lua:

Code Sample

4c4
< w = fltk:Fl_Double_Window(205, 175, "DSL Exit Options")
---
> w = fltk:Fl_Double_Window(205, 185, "DSL Exit Options")
30c30,39
< promptBtn = fltk:Fl_Round_Button(55, 55, 115, 25, "Exit to Prompt");
---
> promptBtn = fltk:Fl_Round_Button(55, 55, 105, 25, "Switch User");
> promptBtn:type(fltk.FL_RADIO_BUTTON)
> promptBtn:value(0)
> promptBtn:callback(
> function(promptBtn)
> backupBtn:value(0)
> backupBtn:hide()
> end)
>
> promptBtn = fltk:Fl_Round_Button(55, 75, 125, 25, "Exit to Prompt");

< backupBtn = fltk:Fl_Check_Button(70, 85, 80, 30, "Backup")
---
> backupBtn = fltk:Fl_Check_Button(70, 105, 80, 30, "Backup")

< okBtn = fltk:Fl_Return_Button(25, 130, 60, 25, "OK")
---
> okBtn = fltk:Fl_Return_Button(25, 140, 60, 25, "OK")

< cancelBtn = fltk:Fl_Button(115, 130, 60, 25, "Cancel")
---
> cancelBtn = fltk:Fl_Button(115, 140, 60, 25, "Cancel")

Much thanks,
John
