startup sessions config issue

[kporkka]

Newbie here, just cannot figure this out. In my startup session config file, if i include a launch program command (e.g. launch htop), kitty opens, launches the program and when I exit the program (e.g. htop), then kitty also exits, which I don't want. Feeling stupid, please help me out. -kimmo

start.conf file:

startup commands

launch htop

Does something like launch sh -c "htop; read" do what you want? It should first execute htop and when you exit that program, it will execute read, which will wait for a keyboard input.

Or launch sh -c "htop; bash"

Thanks both, worked as advised. -kimmo
