- I got the weird feeling that something is thoroughly wrong at
my place - because I have never been
able to see ROX-panel-childprocesses in PS - (or PProcess if thats relevant).


After searching the net,firing up a plethora of puppyversions - I am not
any wiser.
Things are as they have allways been - and as seen on the
screenshot -hopefully -attached.

Ok - I CAN live with the possible quirks - and have hitherto queried the
panels-file for active panels-names - but a process SHOULD be seen,
right?


Any suggestions?



Thanks

Rox panels don't use a separate process at all -neither does the pinboard. You can only force Rox to have two individual process with the -n option -otherwise it uses the currently-running filer.

Hello, some1.

You're not going nuts... I can't explain it, but I do see -- one time out of ten... -- a complete listing of the rox command, with the "-b=xxx" panel command showing, by typing, in console: confirmed, usually the first and second times I issue the command, by ("en-bas" being the name of my rox panel at the bottom of my screen).

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Best regards.

ps will show the full comand-line used to start a program -except that if the command-line is very long the last part will be truncated.

Thank you guys -pure relief here.

@amigo You pinpointed exactly what I have experienced. by look and feel.

I will close the thread as solved,clarified.

Thanks and peace.

Xwininfo may be more useful in getting different rox windows... the pinboard gets its own separate window as do open directories and likely panels though I haven't verified that.
