No this is wrong. keytouch-acpid will not run at the background when you remove the &. In your case keytouch-acpid will probably exit because there is no acpi socket. But when keytouch-acpid does not exit then your X session will not continue because the script continues after keytouch- acpid exits.
It is a strang message you get. Pleasy try the following and tell me if it works: if [ ! `ps -A | grep keytouch-acpid -m 1 -o` ]; then ((keytouch-acpid &) &> /dev/null); fi Regards, Marvin Raaijmakers Developer of keyTouch -- keytouch kills gnome session on startup https://launchpad.net/bugs/56450 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
