killall reconfig

Have tried this but if i run onboard in the background the keyboard don't shows up. Only the terminal opens in this case.

I also tried the while command just for try&error but don't figured out yet how to exit the loop without repeating it.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
while onboard
do xfce4-terminal -e "sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration"
done
killall onboard
killall reconfig
exit 0

Edit:

if i run the onboard command in the terminal i get following message and the window gets blocked (no other commands possible):
Quote:
WARNING Config: mousetweaks GSettings schema not found, mousetweaks integration disabled.
might this cause this problem?

Ok solved the "onboard problem" with using exec. Now both commands runs all the time but now the keyboard isn't closing after the reconfiguration is done.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
xfce4-terminal -e "sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" &
exec onboard
killall onboard
killall testrun
exit 0

How can i loop a if command like this at the end?
Code:
if ! pgrep -x "xfce4-terminal" > /dev/null
then
       killall onboard
fi

As the terminal get closed by itself after the reconfiguration i thought about to check if the terminal still is open and if not close keyboard.

Sorry for all those noob questions Smilie
