Yes, after exec the script is finished. [rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ cat script_1 #!/bin/bash echo -n "hello " echo "world" [rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ cat script_2 #!/bin/bash exec echo -n "hello " echo "world" [rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ sh script_1 hello world [rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ sh script_2 hello [rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ > Finally, any ideas why the xfce4 session is not working when chosen > from lightdm? No, at the moment I use lightdm with Xfce only on Arch Linux. Perhaps this does help: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/lightdm-cannot-figure-out-how-to-change-default-xsession-debian-wheezy-943468/ Regards, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
