I misunderstood the problem. The problem is that /usr/bin/gmenu2x is a shell script. So inittab is ok, as you write. But there is still a problem: the gmenu2x shellscript just launches the real gmenu2x (/usr/share/gmenu2x/gmenu2x) as a sub-process, so both processes have to co-exist in memory. The more efficient solution would be to have exec /usr/share/gmenu2x/gmenu2x as last command in /usr/bin/gmenu2x , so the executable *replaces* the shell-script in memory. I just tried that, unfortunately gmenu2x immediately quits when started via 'exec'. But only when the shell-script is running from inittab. Strange, currently have no idea where this is coming from. cheers, David -- GnuPG public key: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~dvdkhlng/dk.gpg Fingerprint: B17A DC95 D293 657B 4205 D016 7DEF 5323 C174 7D40
