Still I wonder if there is an command line method to call the logout routine... If so I could put it in a script with a short name like "L" and call it from the run prompt. ( <alt>+<F2> L <enter> ) doesn't sound easier to a mouse centric user than simply clicking on system and selecting the bottom choice. But for a keyboard centric user like me with poor mouse pointer coordination, it would be much less irritating than starting with <alt>+<F1>, Moving sideways to system... etc... And not much more work than a hotkey that worked... Hmmnnn On my kubuntu install (which I'm using at the moment) <alt>+<F2> logout <enter> does in fact call the logout function. though a 'which logout' doesn't find the executable and the bash built-in logout command isn't quite what I'm trying to use... If I can't find the pathname of this logout function I can't call it from a script named 'L' <sigh> But next time I boot FC8 I'll have to try typing logout at the run prompt. cause even with the extra 5 keystrokes it's still easier for me than _HAVING_ to use the freaking <alt>+<F1> menu to get there... Here's hoping that works on FC8... ;) ############################################################# ##_if_you'd_prefer_an_clearsigned_".asc"_text_file_of_this_## ##message_as_an_mime_encoded_attachment,just_ask_me_while__## ##it's_STILL_IN_my_outbox_folder_._._._=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+;-)_## #gpg sig for: Joe (theWordy) Philbrook DSA key ID 0x6C2163DE# # You can find my public gpg key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/ # ############################################################# -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHs7oBRZ/61mwhY94RAo35AKChtcZzG7yyCsa/lEOcRRCJx+LErwCeNvfv 8ZANIPjrcQatmR/j7jGTU2g= =sB3/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ~\___/~ <<jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx>>
