Hi Eric!

welcome to Linux. It will bring a lot of fun to your life.

So, is "fvwm" in your path? If you type

        type -path fvwm

from the bash prompt, do you see any output? (You should.)

Is your binary really called "fvwm", and not "fvwm2"?

BTW, the line

        if [ ! -z $(type -path fvwm) ]; then

can be replaced with

        if [ -n $(type -path fvwm) ]; then

although this is not the problem.

Hope this helps.

Ciao, Emilio.
