Hi,
I've a question of principle concerning to the ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml .

Is it possible to run more than one command under cmd like

cmd="mount | grep -q value;result=$?; if [ $result == "xxx" ]; then do this; else do that; fi"

???

I try it, but it didn't work. In the shell prompt it act perfectly.

Thanks a lot!!!

You could presumably put all of that into a bash script and then just call the bash script.

Thanks!

But why isn't it possible to use the whole in the "menu.xml" ???
It's sort of weird.

Logical operators like & or | are only supported by the shells. You could do a

sh -c "mount | grep -q value; ..."

This could work
