I use Debian with LXDE.

I have a simple bash script that runs

lxterminal -e /home/userpc/tvheadend/build.linux/tvheadend | sleep 5 | xbmc

The script works well. These three commands I want to add to the activator on the desktop, and the script to remove. Activator looks like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=lxterminal -e /home/userpc/tvheadend/build.linux/tvheadend | sleep 5 | xbmc
Name=test
Icon=brak

The problem is that exec does not want to run these commands:

Exec=lxterminal -e /home/userpc/tvheadend/build.linux/tvheadend  | sleep 5 | xbmc

    You shouldnt really be piping these commands. Perhaps something like this

    Exec='lxterminal -e /home/userpc/tvheadend/build.linux/tvheadend; sleep 5; xbmc'
