Positioning XBMC Window with wmctrl and BASH - inckie - 2014-02-18
I have created a small bash script to launch XBMC, and place XBMC it on the left or right monitor in my dual screen setup
But I cannot get it to work, if I echo all the wmctrl commands instead of exec, and run them manually they work in a terminal

Anyone who can help me figure out what the problem might be?

I think you need to set the DISPLAY variable. Put
export DISPLAY=:0
At the start of the script
