A script in a script 2

[operadornine]

Hi all,

I have this script

/etc/init.d/ssh start
startx
sleep 10
./xrandr.sh

the ./xrandr.sh calls this command (xrandr -s 1280x768)

but the script always get only to the startx. i cant make it execute the ./xrandr.sh

THanks all

./ means to run the script in the current working directory. I can only assume that when your script runs it is using another directory... try putting the /full/path/to/xrandr.sh instead.

xrandr.sh is executable by the user trying to run it isn't it? You could try cding to the directory within the script and running it with the original ./ method. Is your DISPLAY set?

ken,

Please can you explain me more how to do it?

Thanks

operadornine,
what does your ~/.xinitrc file look like? Do you start a any X-application there in foreground? If so your script will wait for that application to finish until the rest of your script is executed. Execute startx in the background to avoid this behavior.

/etc/init.d/ssh start
startx [COLOR=red]&[/color]
sleep 10
[COLOR=red]/full/path/to[/color]/xrandr.sh
