Konsole ??

Fedora 8 .
I have a script,seen here;

http://www.linux.com/feature/124918

I want the script to run just after the konsole opens, this way I won't have to run ./clock.sh everytime I open konsole /usr/bin/konsole isn't
a script file, so I can't add command ./clock.sh
in that file.
How would I do it ?

I guess, start it from your ~/.bashrc file? Don't know what happens if you open multimple consoles, though...

Well putting it in .bashrc works, But!! it puts the clock on first line and blanks out the "bash prompt" , I have to do a a ctrl c to get bash prompt on the next line down.
If I open multipale kconsoles I get the same affect on all open ones.
I guess the problem is who gets the "first line"
the clock or bash prompt.

Are you running ./clock.sh or ./clock.sh& ? The second command runs the program (and keeps it running) but it backgrounds it and brings up the bash prompt.

XavierP, Thanks very much, that solved the problem.
