I am working on something here, please don't ask me for details, as soon as I have it working you will all be the first to know.
I am trying to design a bash shellscript to launch 2 processes (SL and a little something I am hacking together) simultaneously.
For example:
-------------------
secondlife
sudo /blah/blah/blah
------------------
however I dont want bash to wait until secondlife has exited before it continues to run the second process.
Make any sense?
Any suggestions?

Any suggestions? It is a really arcane and very little known piece of bash wizardry  I think what you are looking for is ./secondlife & sorry if I am not too hopeful about this amazing thing you are working on when you have to ask such questions tho!!! LOL..  No seriously, it is great you are doing something. I look forward to it. I would be happy to help if I can. |

I just couldn't recall it.
Much appreciated. I have my head so far up Java and J2EE tomcat's a55 day and night with work, that I can't think straight when I get home.
Thanks again. If this works. Happy days for all of us.

ta new entry in /etc/init.d and-or /etc/rc*.d or /etc/rc.local probably you are after /etc/init.d/* as anything from there runs as root. Becareful what you do here, linux is like a shotgun with the muzzle taped to your foot and this is playing with the trigger. |

This is a distro-specific question. The above is true for red hat based distros. In debian based systems you write the script in /etc/init.d and make a symbolic link to it in /etc/rcS.d/ |
