Dear fellow Fedora users,
I have a little problem when starting KDE. I have multiple versions of gkrellm running at the same time, and I configured it to "not run multiple instances". When I run top, I see several gkrellm(s), how do I prevent this?
I have run this for a while and it is getting tiring
$ killall -9 gkrellm
$ gkrellm &
to get gkrellm to run only once, but it is getting tiring and there is no more easy to do it like before ~/.kde/Autostart where gkrellm was at one point it is no longer there :(
Please offer a suggestion/fix for this. If no solution is offered, I am tempted to create a script that does this so I can avoid the typing :)
#!/bin/bash
#
killall -9 gkrellm
gkrellm &
Thanks in Advance,
Antonio
