Hi  Once again

I have been thru this system trying to locate just where the call to egrep is
coming from  i can not find it at all

Interesting thing if i callup an xterm and su to root  the call another xterm
from there i do not get the warning on as a user  i have looked i can not find
the issue a little assistance would be much appreciated as i am at a loss now
my system basically is unmoged with the only thing i have changed is i boot
into a text prompt not straight into a graphical enviroment  i use startx to go
graphical using .xinitrc  included   below

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then







    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then







    xrdb -merge "$userresources"

fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi
xset -dpms
exec startplasma-x11
#exec startkde
#exec gnome-session
#exec budgie-desktop
#exec startxfce4
#exec startlxqt


# twm &
# xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
# xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
# xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
# exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login



Hope someone can trow some light on this it appeared a few days ago after an
update  "pacman -Syu"

Cheers pete
