Hi Reid,

Thanks for your answer. Nevertheless I don't have my problem solved yet.

If I make: $ cat ./launchit.sh
I obtain : cat: ./launchit.sh: No such file or directory

Besides it seems I am not using xterm.

If I make: $ nohup xterm -e $@ &
I obtain : nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out'
           nohup: failed to run command `xterm': No such file or directory

Could it be passible that you explain a bit better? Thanks in advance.
