Unix menu program
slave:
You know what would be cool is to have an option for the user to set the colors himself, and it saves the option in a file somewhere.
Edit: oops I see I posted in the wrong thread.

Calum:
i am trying to modify the menu to work exactly how i want it to, but i cannot download the file you linked to above because external linking is not allowed with netfirms. can you embed a link to it in an html page and post the link to the html page please?
thanks.
i will upload my finished version once i have, well, finished it.

what about securing it up a bit and makeing it read a . file in the user homedirectory or a system wide /etc file thus allowing full custimizablilty of the menu and also allow for the system administrator to lock it down and only allow certian apps to be run.
though it looks like something would like to use and ill have to look into what i just said during school, and try to hack it up.

quote:Originally posted by X11:
1 reason why its not a shell script is that if its compiled I can stop users from adding certain things to the menu, and exploiting it as easily.
--- End quote ---
Surely they won't have write access to it? And it won't be exploitable unless it runs as a different user.
Calum:
you are totally correct about that, i can't think what he means by saying it's more secure if it's not a script.
personally i am totally mr no-clue when it comes to programming, all i will be doing is tightening up the interface and writing better docs for the program, i did already make one based on x11's cmenu.tar.gz which can be found here:
http://www.polytheism.org.uk/files/cmenu-2c.zip
(yes it is a zip file, sorry, i am at work and don't have a tarball capable archive tool here. just use 'unzip' instead of 'tar -xvzf', it won't hurt just this once. ;) )
but i wanted to get linux user's one too because i wanted to incorporate his fix for the 'shell' entry not working properly when selected. there's also another bug in my one regarding pico, but see the changelog and the TODO files for that.
