JWMDesktop bash as action not working

[jlocatell]

Added a sh file as an hotkey action does not run. /root/captura.sh has exec privilegies.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance

JWM shortcut action needs exec: as prefix for starting your script
Try exec:/root/captura.sh for action in JWM keyboard shortcuts

Well as adding exec: is not working either, I've added a shortcut to the icon at the desktop. When I type the shortcut the icon gets a white rectangle but nothing happens: if I click on the icon the sh file is triggered.

Some other ideas?

Make sure to leave a space between exec: and /root/captura.sh

try

Code: Select all

exec: /root/captura.sh

crazy things. if the desktop icon points to this bash, shortcut runs ok

#!/bin/sh
exec geany "$@"

If the icon is pointed to that other file, shortcut does not work anymore.

#!/bin/sh
exec scrot -s -o 'captura.jpg'
exec xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png < "captura.jpg"

Again if I click on the icon the second bash file runs ok.

Cant see the difference between clicking on the icon and run a shorcut.

Ideas?

Found a workaround, added an sleep 0.2 before the scrot command.
