It doesn't return anything on the terminal I launch it from, but decrypts the file in an xterm and then closes it (the xterm). So the gpg part works fine. > I'm thinking that gpg fails, so oocalc never launches (because you > conditioned its execution with '&&', and the script continues to shred the > file. The gpg part does not fail, because when I run: xterm -fg green -bg black -e 'gpg Personal/data.ods.gpg && oocalc \ Personal/data.ods' An xterm opens up asks for a passwd to decrypt the file, decrypts it and launches OOo. However, the xterm dies immediately after that. On my x86 machine, the xterm stays open until I close OOo. This is how it should work; i.e. the xterm should continue to run as long as any processes within it are still running. This makes me think that it may be some env or profile difference ...? What would control this behaviour in an xterm? -- Regards, Mick
