the problem I see with this is that my computer is not on 24/7. (Maybe 8/7 but anyways) also Wouldn't that print to a tty? (not a terminal emulator)I have a terminal emulator on all the time. (yes, even mister know nothing uses the command line) Today I actually figured out how to open konqueror to a specific page from an icon! What it was is my USB drive doesn't seem to be listing under removable drives nor is it listing under hotplug so I made my own! I didn't even need to ask anyone. I am so excited..... I cheated though. I had to copy the contents of another icon but I DID figure out what goes behind 'EXEC'. (=sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1; konqueror file:/mnt/sda1) I'm so smart!
