Close ROX-filer window via command line? (Solved)

[Argolance]

Hello,
All is in the title! I need a ROX-filer window opened during the execution of a script to be closed while quitting this script. How could this be done?
Thank you.

Regards.

I'll be very interested in the discussion on this one! One of the difficulties with closing a ROX window in particular is that ROX-Filer seems to fork a new thread per window, so all the PIDs are the same as the pinboard. You can't just kill on the PID, or else you'll wipe out the pinboard and every other instance of ROX that's open.

Code: Select all

rox -D $DIR

will close all Rox windows open to the directory $DIR.

No it is not. Please don't write things you have no idea about (like how rox works).

Or you can try these command.
1. Run this:

Code: Select all

pidof rox

2. And run this (NOTE: Replace number 1 with the output of the first command that you run.):

Code: Select all

kill 1

Thanks Dougal,
I have been searching for this and tried it. (lupu525)

Code: Select all

rox -D /mnt/sda2

result see screenshot

But though it should do the same according to documentation

Code: Select all

rox --close=/mnt/sda2

did close it immediately.

I am going to use this in http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=69283 (next version 032) now
