These desktop icon/scripts do not work here. A console window opens for a second and then closes. But if I manually run the command specified in the Exec= line in the file it launches Kate. A minor quirk -- Nohup coughs up a notice to the shell : nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out' I modified the command to 1) redirect nohup's stdout/stderr to the bit bucket, 2) use the -i option for stdin reading with Kate, and 3) just cat the bash history file, since I usually have line numbers turned on in Kate. Exec=nohup bash -c "(cat ~/.bash_history) | kate -i " >/dev/null 2>&1 & Still, the command works fine run from a command line, but clicking on the icon doesn't run Kate. I removed the redirections to make nohup.out and this text appears in the file each time the desktop icon "executes" -- I gather it is from Kate: QObject::disconnect: Unexpected null parameter Any ideas? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
