Hi,
Hope someone can help me. I followed a guide on the forum on how to use Launcher/Executer using the following script. I am currently running XBMC live Dharma RC2.
@!/bin/bash
fluxbox &
"Name of App"
killall -9 fluxbox
This is working fine with Firefox and pptview however I can not get it work correctly with openoffice. When I try and launch openoffice the program flashes up on screen for just a millisecond and then reverts back to XBMC as if the program had stopped and started. However if I then run either the Firefox laucher or pptview and minimize them in fluxbox I can see that open office is running in the background.
So I can work around the problem but I don't undertsand why this is happening. I can close openoffice after launching one of the other scripts however navigating the program this way can be problematic and often causes the Firefox program to corrupt.
I have tried all scripts in both Executer and Launcher however the results are the same. I have the feeling I may be missing something simple as openoffice can obviously run however it needs tweaking to open and close properly by using it's own plugin.
Any help would be really appreciated.
