Another one. :-) I start a script in my .profile with nohup which should execute when I login. The thing is, it does, but it does _twice_. Why is that? Another nice KDE "feature"? Not that it presents much of a problem, but it's pretty ugly to say the least. Also, how can I execute a scrip when I log_out_? Thanks in advance. -- cul8er, Paul paul.foerster@gmx.net

man bash search for login

man bash search for logout There is a _real_ reson for the man/info/howto files. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
Hey Patrick,
There is a _real_ reson for the man/info/howto files.
... since you seem to be soooooooo clever, you may have noticed that the man-page for bash is 5268 lines long and contains 29 occurences of the word "login" as well as 3 occurences of the word "logout" distributed all over the file. I'm sure you understand that asking a question for a one time thing is faster than reading 5268 lines of text just to add _one_ single line somewhere. Well, given you're answer, I'm not sure you understand that after all... I for one don't plan to get a university degree on login/logout behavior of a shell. Thanks very much for your insight. -- cul8er, Paul paul.foerster@gmx.net

You are welcome. Perhaps somewhat lazy. The third successful find of the word login gives you the beginning of an explanation and the first of logout. the files ~/.bash_login and ~/.bash_logout will accomplish what you wish seeing you cannot determine this yourself. if more help is necessary, please ask gud luk, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
