Rep:
.profile runs only at login. if you need something to run whenever a new bash shell is ceated, put it in .bashrc in your home dir. if you are not actually loggin in the icewm, .profile wouldn't be run again. you also might check to see if icewm has an rc file associated with it. if it does, that might be the best place to put your xhost + stuff.
Hello,
I have a Microsoft Internet Keyboard with a few extra keys.
I run lineakd to enable these keys.
Now I would like to add a line into bashrc or bash_profile so that this command runs on boot. I don't know how to add it.
I tried simply adding the command "lineakd", but in this case only the lineakd will start, not the KDE. Sorry, I am not talking about the same problem, but the solution should be the same.
Please, help. The command should only run if lineakd isn't already running.
