After invoking mmaker copy the generated file (~/.fluxbox/menu) to a $temporary_file and do this: cat "$temporary_file" | head -n -1 | ( cat # invoke your script here (or do the echos directly) ) > "$HOME/.fluxbox/menu" rm "$temporary_file" The head command will strip off the tailing "[end]", cat will repeat the content of stdin and your script will be invoked after that. Finally, the result is written to your configuration file. HTH Linux-Fan -- http://masysma.ohost.de/
