Description Jared Adams 2025-05-23 23:21:09 UTC 
Using the Run in Konsole service menu from Dolphin with a script that ends in an ampersand causes the final command to not run.

Sample script:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo A
echo B &

Running the script normally, both A and B are printed.  Using Run in Konsole, only A is printed.

Running the command from menu manually (konsole --hold -e /path/to/script), I don't see the issue. This script also never has the issue:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo A &
echo B &

This bug is wild.
Comment 2 Jared Adams 2025-05-24 13:05:11 UTC 
It happens randomly. both Run in Konsole and the command work sometimes, break sometimes. Very inconsistent.
