Question Lost my SUSEwatcher icon in system tray


On SuSE 9.1 I no longer have an update icon for YOU (the round SUSEwatcher) in the system tray.
---Did I switch it off at some control panel?
---Or have I broken it by installing packages not recognized by YOU?
---Is there a useful command-line alternative?

I can still run YAST, and the possibility of updating packages is there, but I am worried that no suggestions for security updates seem to being made. I don't know enough to keep myself patched on my own (e.g. I see a security package at SuSE's FTP site for ImageMagick, which I would have thought would be installed on 9.2, but it seems not... )

Any suggestions welcome

You can always run YOU from Yast, even from the command line! Suggestions are beeing made after you've run YOU.

But there should also be an option to restart the watcher from your KDE menu -> system -> desktop applets.

That did it.. now the icon is back. No updates so I guess the YAST-YOU route was also working

Thanks abisko00

Cheers
