[openbox] How To Terminate sh cmd from apps in menu.xml?

[E R]

Actually my bad, this does appear to work;

<command>sh -c "icecat > /dev/null 2>&1 &"</command>

So you're saying I should change it to this instead?


<command>sh -c "exec icecat > /dev/null 2>&1 &"</command>

I've never known to put exec in a openbox menu.xml <command> before, hmm
