Hello managers,
see my original question at the end of this summary.
I thank those, who took time to answer me!
The first answer suggested to check the PATH-variable, but "echo $PATH"
seems to show a correct value. (The PATH-variable is set to an appropriate
value within those scripts.)
The second answer suggested to start, what shall be started, with "nohup"
and the third answer explained why that could be useful.

With this, at least "qmail" starts as i wanted it to.
For "hyperwave" i have to do further investigations,
(maybe i hit a wrong key or something else went wrong... ;-)
