Shell Script Question.

If I have a shell script to open a program, for eg.,
Shell Script: m.sh
Command: sudo mozilla

Can I set it so that mozilla opens in desptop number 4 ? If yes, how can I do that ?

Thanks.

Vijay

Shouldn't be any problems with that, depending on your desktop manager, etc.

Why are you running it as root? That's not very smart...

What WM are you using? That'll tell you how to do it, just check their site for docs or an FAQ, should have the info you need.
