Hi, I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 with the following session file:
claudio@clabook:~$ cat /usr/share/xsessions/xinitrc.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=xinitrc Exec=/home/claudio/.xinitrc That's what I get once I restart dwm several times (not sure if it can happen without restart at all): claudio@clabook:~$ pgrep -fl xinitrc 13958 /bin/sh /home/claudio/.xinitrc 14569 /bin/sh /home/claudio/.xinitrc 15448 /bin/sh /home/claudio/.xinitrc 18171 /bin/sh /home/claudio/.xinitrc 18696 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /home/claudio/.xinitrc 18699 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /home/claudio/.xinitrc 18703 /bin/sh /home/claudio/.xinitrc So I have, among the other things, several processes which loops each 30s to update the bar. Concurrently. I can safely kill the first four process since the PID 18703 is the only one I need. But, how can prevent all this unused processes to be spawn? Thanks in advance for any help. While waiting for a reply I'll continue to Google about and RTFM. Regards, Claudio
