Hi, I tried what you suggested and now a terminal window is opened but is close at the same time so is not possible to visualize anything... Mi shell script launches a java GUI, when I double click in the icon now I see that if I make a 'top' the java process is launched in the background (even though I can't see anything but the terminal window that opens and closes) and after a few seconds the process die... Well, if someone had the same problem could provide me a solution?
