Put an & after gkrellm in your .bash_profile. That's still probably not the best way to do it though, as there are other times when your .bash_profile could be sourced and you won't want another copy of gkrellm started. The only way I've found to do this (without spending any time on it) is leave the programs open when you logout, and then make sure and select the save this session option before clicking ok to finish logging out. Unfortunately, this doesn't work for all programs. Bryan -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
