    My startup script doesn't work

    Can somebody please take a look at this script for me and tell me why gdesklets and skype don't start?
    (Running Fiesty)


    #!/bin/bash
    PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
    echo password | /usr/lib/libpam-keyring/pam-keyring-tool -u -s

    # Delay Firestarter, since an error occurs before the wireless network is found
    sleep 30s; sudo firestarter --start-hidden
    sleep 10s; gdesklets &

    #Delay Skype
    sleep 50s; skype


    This script allows me to automatically login without having to type in the keyring password.

    Firestarter starts but gdesklets and skype don't start, even if I wait a long time.

    Thanks.

    Are you missing a & after "firestarter --start-hidden" ?

    I don't think so.

    I did a logoff and logged back in and gdesklets gave me a crash error (which i reported) and skype started.

    So the script does work, but not on the initial startup.
