Updates: Summary: xmonad doesn't warn when xmonad executable cannot be found Status: Accepted Labels: Usability Comment #6 on issue 126 by vogt.adam: xmonad doesn't warn when xmonad executable cannot be found http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=126 In #xmonad today, jeffwheeler had some trouble getting his config to reload. It seems like this problem could have been avoided by adding a bit of logic to the default config: Currently M-q is bound to: spawn "xmonad --recompile && xmonad --restart" This could instead be something like: spawn $ "which xmonad && { xmonad --recompile && xmonad --restart } || " ++ "xmessage xmonad not in \$PATH: \"$PATH\"" But maybe this logic should be implemented in haskell, or is the /bin/sh syntax used here going to work everywhere? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
