Not quite... You don;t want to exec startkde since it will take over the shell. I think this will work: .xinitrc:
#!/bin/bash EXEC="/home/demo/runtime/bin/DEMO.sh" $EXEC start > /tmp/DEMO.log 2>&1 startkde $EXEC stop Discussion ------------- Unless "DEMO.sh start" launches the application and then exits, you will have to put it into background, otherwise you will never get to startkde. startkde should "block" until the user exits so a wait would be unnecessary -Joseph ============================================================================ On Mon, 2005-05-16 at 16:52 -0500, Jonathan Hartje wrote: > Joseph, > Thanks for the info.
