flux_logout

what is it?
flux_logout is a tiny script that uses a GUI-toolkit to provide a simple logout-dialog for the windowmanager FluxBox. For this purpose the script detects the pid of fluxbox, opens a question-dialog and sends, if the user confirms, a TERM signal to fluxbox's pid.
Optionally, a full dialog providing the possibility to reboot/logout may be shown.
In order to keep fluxbox terminating correctly, a workaround that terminates problematical processes (like gkrellm2) first can be applied.
Quite simple :P
 
supported GUI-toolkits

 
How does it look like?
And the answer is: it depends ;)

flux_logout itself doesn't draw a fancy window at all - it just calls a toolkit like 'zenity' for that purpose (which is btw the default one). If you only have one of the other supported toolkits, the logout-dialog will look like they make it to. 		a logout-dialog drawn by ...    
... zenity

... Xdialog

... xmessage

 
a full dialog drawn by...   
... zenity

... Xdialog

Flux_logout was inspired by an article I found at ikaro.dk which was written by Mathias Gumz. You may want to check out his homepage, too - he wrote a nice and tiny tool called fbcmd. Give it a try :))
