Is there a means to exit the SunView desktop environment from within a SunWindows application? The intended application would have the pressing of a SunWindows button cause exit from SunView. Currently, the only way I know to exit SunView is via the pop-up rootmenu.

One thing you could do is find what process you need to kill to exit
sunview and have your program hunt down and kill it.

Yeuch! Far cleaner solution is as follows: #include <suntool/sunview.h> #include <sunwindow/window_hs.h> #include <stdio.h> static Frame frame; main() { frame = (Frame) window_create(NULL, FRAME, 0); SunViewExit(); } static SunViewExit() { int rootfd = SunViewOpen(); win_screendestroy(rootfd); close(rootfd); } static SunViewOpen() { int myfd, rootfd; struct screen rootscreen; myfd = (int) window_get(frame, WIN_FD); win_screenget(myfd, &rootscreen); rootfd = open(rootscreen.scr_rootname, 1); return (rootfd); } In practice frame would be the base frame of your application.

There is another way to exit Sunview, though probably not exactly what is ultimately desired. With the mouse pointer on positioned on the background, type CTRL-D CTRL-Q (^D ^Q). This will exit WITHOUT the pop-up menu.

First, thanks for a solution to a problem that had been troubling me in our application. 8^) However, note that on an SS1 under 4.0.3 the program trashes the colormap so badly that clear_colormap doesn't seem to be able to recover it. I also tested it on a 3/260 and it trashes the colormap there too (not surprisingly) but a clear_colormap brings the screen back to normal. On the SS1 the only colors left are white and a sort of fuzzy light blue which is almost illegible. Does someone know why this should be so? Both machines are running 4.0.3, by the way .. If there is interest I will summarize. Randolf Klatt Westinghouse Electric ittc!rklatt@uunet.uu.net

Currently, the only way I > know to exit SunView is via the pop-up rootmenu. I needed to do this on a 386i, from a shell script. What I did was to put the process id of the shell that execs suntools in an environment variable, and then send a TERM sig to that process, suntools on the 386i has a signal handler that catches SIGTERM and cleans up. You can get the 386i behavior on 3's and 4's by compiling /usr/share/src/sun/suntool/suntools.c with -Decd.suntools. Tim Panton, Westhawk Ltd. Phone: +44 92822574 uucp : ..!mcvax!ukc!westhawk!thp

Thanks to the various people who replied to my query regarding "clean" exit from the SunView environment via a button in a SunWindows application. The basic technique we implemented was to issue a kill for the pid under which SunView was running. We had passed the pid via an environmental variable.
