Custom Desktop and X11

[bashcommando]

I programmed my own desktop in shell script and finally I was ready to run it. All my files are located at /frost/. Then I modify /etc/sysconf/windowmanager and replace startxfwm4 with /frost/run.sh. Then when I run it nothing happens and it goes to the X11 failsafe which is a annoying login shell. Ideas?

how about the startx command instead of startxfwm4?

 

[bashcommando]

X is already started and I replaced startxfwm4 with /frost/run.sh, so with all the system folders and stuff there is a folder called frost with a shell script called run.sh. However it won't run the shell script.

 

[bashcommando]

I figured it out myself. I turned the shell script into a executable binary and put it in the /bin/ directory. Then I just called it like a command.

 

[bashcommando]
