If you are using exec the script will not continue as exec replaces the shell with the command you specify.

Ah ok good to know. I removed exec but still get same bash -x output

Code:
.
bash -x testrun
+ onboard
+ xfce4-terminal -e 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration'
21:36:42.063 WARNING Config: mousetweaks GSettings schema not found, mousetweaks integration disabled.

I guess I will try to run onboard in a seperate process with a second file. It feels not very efficient to create 2 files for this small script but I guess this should at least work.

So managed now to get it work

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#filename=testrun
script_name=$0
script_full_path=$(dirname "$0")

$script_full_path/onboard_run &
xfce4-terminal -e "sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" &

while pgrep -x "xfce4-terminal" > /dev/null
do
    sleep 0.5
done

killall onboard
killall testrun
exit 0

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#filename=onboard_run
onboard
exit 0

Thx Chubler_XL for your help.
