Re: My ip-ip.d directory not executed
Yes ,
But i found out about needing to set the DISPLAY from a terminal when i tried to manually
run my script, there was no DISPLAY set at all, so i had to manually set it.
Still seems to me it might be usefull to have it when i fire up x < whatever> guess its
juest a matter of adding it somewhere.
cheers
