I have written a script to personalise my JWM settings.

Please could someone tell me what command I need to use to kill and restart JWM from the script rather than having to go into the menu manually after running the script?

Thanks

easy question, pick me, pick me

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# jwm -h 
JWM v1.8 by Joe Wingbermuehle
compiled options: fribidi icons png shape xft xinerama xpm xrender 
system configuration: /usr/local/etc/system.jwmrc
usage: jwm [ options ]
  -display X  Set the X display to use
  -exit       Exit JWM (send _JWM_EXIT to the root)
  -h          Display this help message
  -p          Parse the configuration file and exit
  -restart    Restart JWM (send _JWM_RESTART to the root)
  -v          Display version information

so try

Code: Select all

jwm -restart

should do the job
