--- Quote from: H_TeXMeX_H ---The & is there if you want to keep processes running ... that's what it says in the fluxbox startup script ... like if I ran "gkrellm" instead of "gkrellm &" the process would start and then quit as soon as the script exited :) So yeah, it should probably be in there ;)

Yea but he's using 2 &'s.

xscreensaver &> /dev/null &

H_TeXMeX_H:
Oh ... then it gets more complicated ... then I wouldn't really know ... uhhh, since /dev/null is not a process it should not make a difference, but I don't know the exact format for that. I say just forget the /dev/null part ... you might want it print errors anyway.
