i believe the common thing to do with startup scripts in order to avoid the error you're seeing is: sleep 2 && exec bbpager& sleep 2 && exec bbkeys -no -i& sleep 2 && exec bbmail & sleep 2 && exec bbsload & sleep 2 && exec xterm -ls -fg White -bg Black -geometry 80x45+1+376 & sleep 2 && exec xterm -ls -fg White -bg Black -geometry 80x46+791+378 & sleep 2 && exec xterm -ls -fg White -bg Black -geometry 80x24+791+35 & sleep 2 && exec xterm -ls -fg White -bg Black -geometry 80x24+1+33 & blackbox this is what i've got, and it works fine every time. hope that helps.
