  • Note that (assuming you're using gnome terminator) pgrep terminator always fails. Try pgrep -f terminator || nohup terminator instead. That's because terminator is a python program so what you see in pgrep is python, not terminator. Commented Jan 14, 2017 at 18:04
  • Thank you for your clarification. But in my case pgrep terminator works as expected. It returns pid of running terminator instance. Commented Jan 14, 2017 at 18:07
  • That's strange then. I would try i) redirecting the error output of the script to a file to see if anything is printed; ii) trying to run terminator without the nohup and without the wmctrl, to see which part of the command is the problem. Commented Jan 14, 2017 at 18:11
