script won't run in .icewm/startup file

cabpacedilla

Hi all. I would like to inquire if I am doing the right way because my script in my .icewm/startup file won't run. I put the filename of my script in .icewm/startup like this "<filename.sh> &". I put #!/usr/pkg/bin/bash in the first line. I placed my script in my bin folder in my home directory. My bin folder is reflected when I do "echo $PATH". I made the startup file executable but still my script in the .icewm/startup file won't run. I put my script in /etc/rc.d/ instead and my script runs

cabpacedilla try with just

#! /bin/sh

cabpacedilla if you're starting icewm through xdm or other display manager, then you need to specify the absolute path of the script in your startup file, since xdm is a root process and won't inherit your user's environment.
