WBAR and JWM create extra shell processes

(1/1)

florian:
I noticed that when I launch an app from WBAR, a shell process is created and remains alive.
This is wasting RAM!

I'm having the same problem with JWM. I added a button in my jwm tray to launch a shell

--- Code: ---<TrayButton label="$">exec:aterm +tr</TrayButton>
--- End code ---
Works fine, but when I push this buttton, it creates the aterm and TWO shell processes.

Looking for solutions to minimize amount of processes!

^thehatsrule^:
You can either prepend "exec" (takes over the process) or append "&" (backgrounding).  I guess using exec would be sufficient.

Good find.

florian:
Appended an exec to my own entries in jwm and sure it fixed the issue!

In addition of the jwm tray, and wbar, this also concerns all entries in the jwm menus.
It would be great for the next TC RC to fix all of those.

roberts:
Done. It will be in 1.1rc2.
