Good to know, however it doesn't seem to work either way... On a suggestion I also tried checking how it was being run with pstree, and got this: (.puush is the name of the shell script) init(1)---login(2887)---bash(3047)---startx(18355)---xinit(18372)---ck-launch-sessi(18378)---fluxbox(18413)---.puush(29126)---pstre+ vs this when run from xterm: init(1)---login(2887)---bash(3047)---startx(18355)---xinit(18372)---ck-launch-sessi(18378)---fluxbox(18413)---xterm(18972)---bash(18974)---.puush(29187)---pstree(29188) So I think it's executing fine, but something about scrot or the puush upload script won't work the way fluxbox handles it, could there be an issue because it takes too long? It does have to wait for a me to select the right area, save the screenshot, upload it, and dump the resulting url to clipboard. Thanks, Clark A.
