Totally wrong. It can either be: - hosed: ever tried to login via serial (you need to have a getty) while having crashed/frozen app_server ? there's still a lot you can do (even kill it and restart it, I did it already). That's also why I strongly point out not to use C++ stuff for the commands in /bin when it can be avoided. - disabled: one can think of using BeOS as a firewall/router or anything else that doesn't require app_server (I know, *BSD or Linux would be better for this, anyway.). - still not launched: in /system/boot/BootScript there are actions taken while it's not been launched. Besides, even the Windows GUI can be disabled :^) En réponse à Jonas Sundstrom <kirilla@xxxxxxxxx>: > > Is there an applet that determines if the GUI is available > > The GUI is always available. > > /Jonas Sundström. www.kirilla.com > > > >
