[plug] Script

[Garry]

HI all,

This is going to seem pretty basic, but I don't know the correct words
to search for the answer.

I need to write a quick script to start a program, exit and leave the
program running.
I know at the command line you put "&" at the end to return the command line.

"
transmission-gtk &
"

I believe "fi" makes a script exit. But I get a warning message
"(transmission-gtk:*processnum*):WARNING **:Couldn't connect to
accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-OHNORYryZL:
connection refused
./starttorrent: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token 'fi'
./starttorrent: line 2: 'fi'
"

And here's the funny thing.. Despite the warning, it works. If I
remove the "fi", it starts, the warning is the same except the lines
referring to "fi" are missing and the script doesn't exit. But it
still starts transmission.

I also tried
"
#/bin/bash
transmission-gtk & (and without the &)
exit 0
"
But it works as though the "fi" was there.

I guess at the end of the day for completeness I'd start with "killall
transmission-gtk" to stop multiple instances, but I don't want to
complicate things at this stage...

Can anyone cast some light on this for me please?

Regards

Garry
