[Fixed] WMFS Statusbar script at startup

Hello,

I'd like to run a shell script after running WMFS in my .xinitrc, but I can't seem to make it work.

#!/bin/sh 
conky -c ~/.conkyrc | while true; read line; do wmfs -c status "default $line";
done

The code works perfectely, and have no issues with it.
my .xinitrc:
#!/bin/bash
feh --bg-fill ~/.wallpaper.png
xbindkeys
pulseaudio --start
exec wmfs
~/.config/wmfs/status.sh

I would like to run the last line after executing wmfs, but it never runs.

Can I change the line "exec wmfs" to "exec wmfs &" without any problem ? And if not, how can the last line be run at startup.

Thanks.

Put the script before the exec wmfs. Have you tried it?

ilusi0n > Yes, and the command 'wmfs -c status "..." ' can only be executed after wmfs, so it didn't work.

Fixed.

I ended up writing 'sleep 7' before the status command, and inverted the line 'exec wmfs' with the line '~/.config/wmfs/status.sh &'.
