How to fix if slimski does not appear in antiX
It seems that if to remove slimski and install slimski again, it does not show in startup services. This happened in 32-bit sysvinit antiX 23, so not sure if the same issue is in the other versions?
To see if slimski is running
ps aux | grep slimski
If slimski does not run, the easiest way to get it working in sysvinit version, is to add the next line to the /etc/rc.local file before exit 0
if ! service slimski status > /dev/null; then
echo "slimski is not running. Restarting..."
service slimski stop
service slimski start
else
echo "slimski is running."
fi

============================
Edit 16.5.2025: With antiX 23 runit:
1. Install slimski slimski-themes-extras-antix
sudo apt install slimski
2. Make a runit service if not already
sudo mkdir /etc/sv/slimski
3. Edit /etc/sv/slimski/run file if needed
sudo nano /etc/sv/slimski/run
4. …. make it executable
sudo chmod +x /etc/sv/slimski/run
… link to /etc/service
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/slimski /etc/service/slimski
Codes in antiX ~/.bashrc file for startx are
# startx as user for all antiX 'desktop' options alias
alias srj="startx /usr/local/bin/desktop-session rox-jwm"
alias srf="startx /usr/local/bin/desktop-session rox-fluxbox"
