Openbox Autostart file and ampersands

[CMarch]

Instead of trying to breath new life into a year old conversation:

Openbox Autostart not working

Openbox Autostart not working

Edit: It seems to working fine now when I place the same thing in /etc/exg/openbox/autostart so I’m now I’m very confused So I’m running openbox alongside instantWM on the same user. For some reason openbox isn’t listening to it’s autostart file but instantWM is. Internet works fine for some reason and picom launches. Picom and redshift and pcloud exist both in the InstantWM autostart which is stored the same way an openbox autostart would be. (in .config…). Picom launches fine for some reason …

I’ve started a new, but similar one.

I noticed the dex line in my ~/.config/openbox/autostat file from the community edition does not have an ampersand at the end. Is an ampersand something that dex does not need in this context or is just a minor oversight?

My bad; Should have an ampersand at end.
