Re: startup commands

Leave off the exec part. For instance, in ~/.xsession #!/bin/bash rxvt& # plain rxterm rxvt -e mutt & # rxvt with mutt running inside of it exec fvwm2 # exec window manager as last item Make sure ~/.xsession is executable (chmod 700 ~/.xsession). On Sun, Aug 15, 1999 at 01:18:44PM

startup commands

Hi all, I am trying to start mutt and 1 rxvt shell when a specific user logs into X. I tried to put #! /bin/bash # exec mutt& exec rxvt& in bit .xinitrc and .xsession but nothing really happens. How do I execute these commands at startup ? Best regards Joakim
