[OT] Bash Script won't work in fvwm menu.



I've written the following script which works just fine at the
command line (xterm) but doesn't work when I use it in .fvwm2rc
in a menu -
+ "myNetscape"   exec mynet

Netscape starts just fine but the lock file and pid aren't killed.
The permissions of /usr/local/bin/mynet -
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root

What do I need to do to make this work from my menu?
Thanks,
kent
