    Question [Bash] Return to Prompt After Executing GUI

    I have a bash script that launches a GUI, but when I execute it from a terminal I have to wait until the GUI closes to get back to the prompt. How can I tell the script to finish executing after I launch the GUI? I know that Firefox does this. Windows does this with the start command.

    Never mind, just found the answer here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...pt#post4329301

    Code:
    #! /bin/bash
