FILES

       ~/.flush
              Default configuration directory.

BUGS

       On startup Flush finds already running instances via DBus session bus. Therefore it is necessary  to  run
       Flush  in  a  single  session  bus (usual in X session bus) to prevent running several instances with one
       configuration path.

       Please notice that when you are running Flush from console or by cron, when DISPLAY environment  variable
       is    not    available,    Flush    finds   already   running   GUI   instance   without   problems   via
       ${config_path}/dbus_session link, which all GUI instances are creating when they have  owned  DBus  name.
       This makes it possible to control running Flush GUI instances from cron.
