how do you restart Icewm in a console?

beajedi · 01-14-2004, 12:07 AM

When you hit CTRL ALT DEL during an IceWM session, you get 6 different options (reboot, shudown, etc. etc.)

One of them is "restart IceWM"

Does anyone know what the console command is for that?

The reason is because I'm trying to turn a machine into a school kiosk, and I don't want the users to be able to logout.

So instead, I want it to "restart IceWM" upon hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL.

Any links or howtos?

Thanks in Advance?

A better way of doing this is to look in /etc/inittab for the CTRL-ALT-DEL handler and change it to something apart from the shutdown command. Then, in /etc/X11/XF86Config, look for the server flags section and add in Option DontZap to remove the X server's handler.
