Script to reset openbox, conky, tint2?

What commands would you put in a script to reload conkys, openbox and tint2 within the same session? (I know where these are in the menu, so not looking for that).

Re: Script to reset openbox, conky, tint2?

What commands would you put in a script to reload conkys, openbox and tint2 within the same session? (I know where these are in the menu, so not looking for that).

Generic...

openbox --restart
killall conky && conky  [ -c /path/to conkyrc ] &
killall tint2 && tint2 [ -c /path/to tint2rc ] &

Bunsenlabs specific...

openbox --restart
killall conky && bl-conky-session
bl-tint2restart

Don't dismiss the menu - the menu.xml often gives the commands which are being used.

Expanding on @BLenderer's post: In general, if BL offers an action from the menu or keyboard shortcuts, you can find the related command in ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml or ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml (save for OB intrinsic actions).

A little less drastic, for tint2:

killall -SIGUSR1 tint2

Likewise for conky (per the man page):

killall -SIGUSR1 conky

touch /path/to/conky/config

edit:
i'm assuming you have a REASON to restart those apps.
assuming the REASON is that you edited one of the config files, saving that file amounts to the same as above command.
