RE: [misterhouse-users] Starting TK GUI seperately?

[Clay J. <cl...@nw...>]

David – I’m a little later to the party than you (just got MH up and running
last nite); but am very interested in doing the same thing (I have MH
running on a 486, and it doesn’t really have enough horsepower to do X and
TK on the same box).  So, let me know if I can help; and certainly keep us
all posted on your progress.

Subject: Re: [misterhouse-users] Starting TK GUI seperately?

As far as I know it is not currently possible. The GUI is generated by the
mh program itself so there would be no way to link into an already running
program without restarting the original program. Your best option is to try
to get the web interface to look as nice as possible and use it instead.
I am working on a redesigned http_server.pl module that uses pull down
lists, buttons and status icons (stuff that I miss from the Tk GUI). It is
coming along real nicely but it is taking longer than I was hoping mostly
because I am still learning the inner workings of mh. :-)

I'd like to start MH (Non TK) when my Linux box boots, but for
those times when I use KDE I'd like to use the TK gui.
I it possible to start the TK front end at a later time and
have it link to the previously started MH?
I know I can access MH via a web browser, but for various
reasons I'd like to still be able to use the TK gui.
Thanks,
