hey guys
don't worry... the *.lock files are my way to check which default.conf is used at the moment... because i don't want to replace the file with the same file and _maybe_ get the same bootvideo over and over again.
i have tested my shellscript with 5 x.conf files.
you can see the output in the image i attached.
my script is doing what it is supposed to do.
maybe there is an issue with generating random numbers out of /dev/urandom on startup?!

edit:
GOD DAMN IT!
my random number generating line only produces two different numbers. that's because /dev/urandom is based on drivers' noise and (that would be my explanation) gets flushed at power on. so the noise the drivers are producing is always the same at the same time. -.-
i need to find another way to get a random number :/
($RANDOM didn't work for me...)
