I try to run a script from xfrun4 (Alt+F2) and get "failed to execute child process".
The script is in ~/bin, it's an executable and ~/bin is in $PATH.

When running it from terminal it's working.
Any ideas?

is it a terminal script?
what happens if you run it> xfterm4 -e script
without seeing the script and knowing it's purpose, your asking for answers we can't give.

I created a new bin folder and moved my script to the new folder it it worked.

not sure what it was. maybe permission issues on the old bin folder..
thanks for the help!
