How to put 2 orders in a starter

[abcdabcd2]

Hello
I have a little question:
How to put 2 orders in 1 starter?
compiz --replace & avant-window-navigator just compiz starts
avant-window-navigator & compiz --replace just avant starts
:confused:

you'll need to AND the opperations with the && operator instead of using &.

[joeyjwc]

Do you want to start both at once?


#!/bin/bash
compiz --replace &
avant-window-navigator &


The & there forks the process to the background.

&& is used for starting one thing after another.

For example:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 10 && echo "Hello, world!"


This will sleep for 10 seconds and then spit out "Hello, world!" The sleep command has to complete before the echo command can work.


I'm pretty sure you want my first example, with both processes running at once.

compiz --replace && avant-window-navigator
To put this in a starter?

[delfick]

do it with only one &

compiz --replace & avant-window-navigator

(also, if you want to be able to use ccsm to configure compiz, use "compiz --replace ccp")

:D

[hyperair]

I reckon it's "compiz --replace ccp" not "cpp".

[delfick]

oops. my bad, it is ccp, was past midnight when i typed that :p

[abcdabcd2]

compiz --replace & avant-window-navigator

doesnt work

[delfick]

what happens instead?

[abcdabcd2]

when compiz stands first, only compiz starts, when i put awn at first only awn starts:confused:

[delfick]

weird, only having one & works for me ....

do something like

gedit & gvim

does that work ??

Yes, but rhythmbox & gnome-terminal doesnt work (only rhythmbox)
and rhythmbox && gnome-terminal " "
