[SOLVED] openbox menu command doesn't work with &&

I'm now using openbox-session only.

I'd like to run a program after something was done correctly:

zenity --question && killall openbox

I used "obmenu" and it seems that it fixes & to & correctly in the menu.xml.

However, the previous command "zenity" is run only.

In terminal, there's no problem, but it doesn't work with "command" in openbox menu.

<item label="Exit">
                <action name="Execute">
                    <execute>
                        zenity --question --title="Exit" --text="Are you sure to go back to console?" && killall openbox
                    </execute>
                </action>
            </item>

Please, give me any idea. Thank you.

Re: [SOLVED] openbox menu command doesn't work with &&

I don't know if there is a solution in menu.xml. I got around several problems like this building a small script in my ~/bin and calling this from the menu.

You'll need to use a shell explicitly:

<execute>
  sh -c 'command1 && command2'
</execute>

I flagged "solved" thanks to your help. It works good. Thank you.
