Script that restarts the X Server, reboots the computer?

Post by pp4mnklinux »

Hello everybody:

Usually I must restart X server to update changes, and in EasyOS_daedalus I must right click, go to ShutDown, Rectify, Restart X server.

How can I create a script to restart x server in one click?

If possible... how to create one to REBOOT COMPUTER?

---------------------------
You helped me to create a suspend script, so now I only need to click on a Direct Access to suspend computer.

How can I do this fot RESTART X SERVER ??

N.b.- Suspend script was:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# Set suspend:

echo -n mem >/sys/power/state

----------------------------

Can you tell me all the code I must write in the Script? (copy and paste)

Thanks in advance

The command for restarting X is

Code: Select all

restartwm

and for reboot

Code: Select all

reboot

Right-Click in a folder where you want to create the scripts, select New and then Script to create scripts with the mentioned codes.

Sorry @amethyst but the zip has no files in it (it is empty), but no worries, It is enough with restart x server.

Thanks

It's definitely not empty. I've downloaded it and extracted the contents with uextract.

Hi @pp4mnklinux
All you need to do is to click on the zip-file name to download it to your system.
As you save to /mnt/sda5 you need to make sure that you do have proper rights to that drive.

@amethyst, excuseme, MY FAULT.

You were correct, you zip file has got the files inside, but this appears empty for me due to an error with my EasyOS'

Now I can see It contents, but as I told you, reboot system file doesn't work for me... sniff, sniff.

Sorry again, have a nice day

Edit the script to use wmreboot which is what the menu uses.
