Hello,
when I want to execute an external program in a self-written script fvwmscript
doesn't wait until
this external program returns. But in the documentation of fvwmScript is
following example:
If $ToDo=={Open xcalc} Then
Do {Exec xcalc &} # List of instructions
Else
Begin
Do {Exec killall xcalc &} # List of instructions
Do {Exec echo xcalc killed > /dev/console}
End
The script invokes xcalc with & at the end. Because of this I think it should
wait until the program returns.
Is this a bug? Does anyone has an idea for a workaround? I could wait manually
(while), but that would be really ugly because it produces 100% cpu usage rate.
Unfortunately is the archive of this mailinglist unreachable, so I couldn't
search for other postings.
regards
Marcel Linden
