OK
meaning
like "grml2usb" must be started by opening a term and typnig it in
how can I start an terminal app from menu
like
which does nothing...

EDIT
I just tried this
and it starts, but then xterm crashes
why?
it opens and closes immedietly

how would i get it to open in term?

Something like:

[exec] (grml) {x-terminal-emulator -T "grml2usb" -e sudo /usr/sbin/grml2usb}

(Not sure, as I don't use sudo, but that needs to be part of the thing to be executed.)

thanks
I'm gonna try it
hope it works

Mmmm
that didnt work either..
xterm starts then crashes

any ideas?

I'm pretty sure the basic syntax is right as far as flux is concerned (even though I use fvwm). So you might want to try 'x-terminal-emulator -hold -T "grml2usb" -e sudo /usr/sbin/grml2usb' if your x-terminal-emulator supports the '-hold' switch (if it's xterm, at least, it does). This may let you see what's wrong. Experimenting on my own system, I suspect either you need to change it to 'x-terminal-emulator -T "grml2usb" -e sudo -i /usr/sbin/grml2usb' (though you are giving the full path, there may be other environment variables grml2sub wants and isn't getting) or that there's something wrong with the configuration grml2sub, itself. Does it run when invoked from x-terminal-emulator directly, aside from the fluxbox menu? And does plain '[exec] (grml) {x-terminal-emulator -T "grml2usb"} give you a properly titled working x-terminal-emulator?

-- It also finally occurred to me to look up what grml2usb actually is. This is a command line tool, isn't it? There is no interactive UI, so it's not really a thing to put on a fluxbox menu. At least not via xterm. The terminal will only persist so long as there is a process running and a command line app will exit as soon as the command completes. I was thinking this must be some kind of UI app. If it is an interactive app, then what I said above may still apply but, otherwise, it's just a one shot. If you really want it on your menu (the equivalent of a button) then just make sure the command works from the command line and then put it on your menu without xterm and it should simply execute, though you won't see anything.

What's "grml2usb"? What does it do? If the program ends the terminal will close, just like if you do "xterm -e ls". If you want the console to remain open after running use "xterm -hold -e ls".

The -hold option, in any case, will probably be useful to determine what's going on.
