So, firstly how do I run it without having terminal open all the time and how do I automatically run it - I read something about autostart.sh.
Keep reading and you'll eventually find that you can create a file under: ~/.config/openbox/ called autostart.sh which openbox will execute when you log in. Put your call to xcompmgr in this file and append an '&' to it, e.g.: xcompmgr -c & This ensures that it gets sent to the background after starting. It's probably necessary that autostart.sh is executable. $ ls -lh ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh will tell you whether it is or not. $ chmod +x ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh will make it executable. You may also consider using ~/.xsession rather than ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Richard Lewis ISMS, Computing Goldsmiths, University of London Tel: +44 (0)20 7078 5134 Skype: richardjlewis JID: ironchicken@jabber.earth.li http://www.richardlewis.me.uk/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- +----------------------------------------------+ | Support open access to scholarship | | http://freeculture.org/ http://www.doaj.org/ | +----------------------------------------------+
