Hello,
when I want to execute an external program in a self-written script fvwmscript 
doesn't wait until
this external program returns. But in the documentation of fvwmScript is 
following example:

If $ToDo=={Open xcalc} Then
 Do {Exec xcalc &}  # List of instructions
Else
Begin
 Do {Exec killall xcalc &} # List of instructions
 Do {Exec echo xcalc killed > /dev/console}
End

The script invokes xcalc with & at the end. Because of this I think it should 
wait until the program returns.
Is this a bug? Does anyone has an idea for a workaround? I could wait manually 
(while), but that would be really ugly because it produces 100% cpu usage rate.

Unfortunately is the archive of this mailinglist unreachable, so I couldn't 
search for other postings. 

regards

Marcel Linden
