The random_effect program is really a gross hack. It was
inspired by an idea donated by Thilo
Wunderlich <c15o@zfn.uni-bremen.de>
who asked
for such a feature. The program takes 1 commandline argument - a
file name.
random_effect
config fileLine #1 = commandline to run xbanner (absolute path)
The rest of the lines are simply pathnames of XBanner resource files.
After reading the file, the program will select an effect file by random, and execute the needed things.
If you need to put a "-display" to xbanner, then your first line in the random-effect database file will look like:
/usr/local/bin/X11/xbanner -display ggf:0
Again, thanks to Thilo
Wunderlich <c15o@zfn.uni-bremen.de>
for
pushing me in this direction. This is a neat addition to XBanner.
