Re: [gDesklets] IExec control does not get output

[Bjoern Koch <H Humpel gmx de>]

Hi there,

"cat /proc/mdstat"... ?!
Working on a (Software-)RAID-Desklet ?? ;)

I wouldn't use the IExec Control for this. This is (IMHO) something that
should be done with a Control.

I have been working on a Software-Raid Control (back then in 2009... :/
) and there is a some-kind-of-finished SoftRaid-Control somewhere
here... just need some more time to finish it.

If you are interested I could send you the code...

The IExec Control ... well, very useful and "tempting" for a "quick and
dirty" solution. But in most cases - if not almost every case - a
Control would be the better solution.
AFAIR there has been a "good vs. evil" discussion about this Control
back then when it was released ;).

Just my 5 cents ...

Greetings, Bjoern
