Fluxbox keybinding

addr1 · 05-28-2010, 03:57 PM

I want to have a keybinding for the 'Restart' command in Flux's menu.

Code:

Restart <argument>     # Restarts fluxbox, argument can be the binary of another window manager to which will be switched

So what <argument> would I put here? I don't want to start another WM.
Do I need Exec in front of Restart/restart?

Code:

Mod4 F9 :Restart

Code:

Mod4 F9 :Reconfigure

It would have helped if you had posted what distro you are using.
Anyway,here's how i do it with Debian:

I think he's talking about 'Restart' Fluxbox only (as in the default menu) not 'Reboot'the computer.

An exert from Lux's post:

Code:

[exec] (Reboot) {sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now}
[exec] (Shutdown) {sudo /sbin/shutdown -p now}

The reboot entry will reboot the machine not just restart Fluxbox.
Also i had to change the shutdown command,YMMV:

Code:

sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now

The entry for restarting Fluxbox is:

Code:

[restart] (Restart Fluxbox)

Hope this clarifies for you.
