[Linux] Fluxbox help needed

you need to edit your ~/.fluxbox/startup

look for the line that reads

Code:

exec fluxbox

and change it for

Code:

# we start fluxbox in the background

fluxbox &

# we store fluxbox proc id, where $ (stands for the variable
#named ! (wich stands for the last cli entrance))

fbid=$!

# Time out in seconds, fluxbox is already runing in back,
#so you dont slower anything really
# If your computer is too slow you may need to time this a little bit longer

sleep 1

{
   #Here put your aplications, like
   aterm &
   #dont forget the &, so they run in background and script go on
} &

#we keep all runing while fluxbox is runing

wait $fbid

Basically, you split the exec into
1 run fb in back
1.5 your custom apps
2 everything else should w8 fb

This is for sure, the before solution might be version dependant... idk much about fluxbox code.

make a script like this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

sleep 5
exec aterm

make it executable, and run it with the complete route from the fluxbox script, should be something like

Code:

.$HOME/scripts

the dot matters...
after a few runs you will get the exact needed value for the sleep comand
