Hi I have one problem with '.xinitrc' file. I need to run IceWM, detach it from console and wait until IceWM exits. I know about 'detach' utility for Unix which runs process, detaches it but doesn't wait. So when I place "exec detach icewm" in the end of my '.xinitrc' X server shuts down immediately after starting icewm which isn't what I want. Is there a programm like 'detach' which does't exit until detached process is finished? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
