[SOLVED] Problems with cairo-dock in bash script

I am having problems with my bash script that starts up my desktop environment.

I have the path to my bash script in ~/.config/openbox/autostart file and that part works ok.

The start-up.sh contains all the paths to each script for each element of my environment. The top two could probably be started before startx, tho i have decided to keep them here for now.

#!/bin/bash

~/spiritech-environment/set-key-map.sh
~/spiritech-environment/audio.sh

sleep 1s; ~/spiritech-environment/printer.sh
sleep 1s; ~/spiritech-environment/background-changer.sh
sleep 1s; ~/spiritech-environment/x-composite-manager.sh
sleep 1s; ~/spiritech-environment/cairo-dock.sh

I have put them in the order that i think is best. my problem is that cairo-dock does not run at all. If i change the order to have cairo-dock.sh further up the list it does run and anything below it does not run.

cairo-dock.sh contains.

#!/bin/bash

cairo-dock -o

This is the output from the terminal when i run cairo-dock.sh.

If i run each script in any or the same order seperately then they all work as expexted. does anyone know where i am going wrong?

If i execute the cairo-dock.sh script in a terminal it hangs after the error warnings. Is this supposed to happen, because if i run other scripts in a terminal they execute and exit?

Maybe this is a bug with cairo-dock?

Re: [SOLVED] Problems with cairo-dock in bash script

Well i have solved the problem using the & operator. The two commands.

xcompmgr &

ciaro-dock -o &

Both needed the & to pass the next command. The other scripts did not as the commands execute and exit.
