  • Start shutter from .bashrc will trigger a zombie progress state of it.

    I try to start shutter [1] from .bashrc with the following code snippet:

    if type -fp shutter >/dev/null && ! ps h -C shutter >/dev/null; then
    nohup shutter --min_at_startup &> /dev/null &
    fi

    But I always failed to start it with the following result:

    $ ps h -C shutter
    2012236 tty5 Z+ 0:00 [shutter] <defunct>

    Any hints for this problem?

    First step:
    Start it redirecting to a logfile instead of /dev/null and
    observe if any messages are issued to that file.

    Apart from that, this is probably not a shell problem, thus off
    topic here. Try shutter support.
