I’m talking about this patch:

https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/autostart/

Now, the notes seem simple: after apply the patch, dwm will look for the autostart script in ~/.dwm/autostart.sh.

But if you read it carefully, the file is:

~/.dwm/autostart.sh &

Wth does a “&” have to do with file name? I tried to just use the normal file: autostart.sh with exec dunst. It doesnt work…

I tried to create in the Thunar this weird file name, “autostop.sh &”. The system does not recognize it as sh script anymore. .

Any help is welcome.

    i see, so the file names are: autostart_blocking.sh and autostart.sh

    I dont need to create a weird file name like: autostart.sh &

    But, whichever command I put in autostart.sh will run as if I run in terminal with the & sign. E.g: dunst & to run in the background.
