- In OW2, the postscript command 'shutdownserver' worked fine. This was even
- documented in the olwm man page (under the BUGS section I think). The OW3.0
- version of olwm still has this in there, but it no longer works. News (?)
- complains that shutdownserver is undefined. What gives?
-
- I'm using it to shut down my X server. I can't use the normal EXIT because
- I'm runnign a program called unclutter. This doesn't die, so the normal
- EXIT command doesn't work. If you know of a better way to close down than
- to use POSTSCRIPT shutdownserver, I would appreciate knowing about it.
-
- Thanx for any info.
