In case of
&&
, the second process waits for the first process to finish with error code0
, before it starts.In case of
&
, the second process starts without waiting for the first to finish. Meaning, by the time you are looking at the GUI, theexit
command has already been executed.Right. Yeah I didn't engage my brain on the & initially as i thought it was just a typo. But that should work, seems others on the internet think the same.
I like 'exec startx', but really if someone has physical access, unless you are doing a lot of other security, you can't be safe.
I tend to be lucky in that regard, as people around me who might get physical access, tend to not have Linux know-how, even if they think of pranking me.
Also, I lock my room.
