Something like this: #!/bin/bash display image.jpg & kwrite textfile.txt # end of script ...in bash, putting an & at the end of a line tells the shell "run this process in the background". You can see this working in the old-school .xinitrc files that would start various X clients with & before starting the window manager without &. The snippet above will display image.jpg , but when you quit kwrite, the script will reach its end and exit. The background processes that the script started will receive a HUP when the script exits. So when you quit kwrite, the display process will get HUPped and exit too. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
