Re: Re: Launch from Tk

Yes, thought of that first.

If I do...
`foo bar &`;
...Tk freezes till xterm is closed.

If I do...
system("foo", "bar", "&");
...then xterm rejects the & as bad cli option.

If I put the xterm call in foo.sh and do...
`~/foo.sh &`;
...Tk still freezes till xterm is closed.

If I put the xterm call in foo.sh and do...
system("~/foo.sh", "&");
...nothing apears to happen. I get no xterm.

But if I call ~/foo.sh on the cli, thin I do
get the xterm. So the script foo.sh is okay.

I tried all those things before coming here.
I am a little stumped.

What if you put `#!/bin/sh xterm +u8 -fn ... &` [download] in `~/foo.sh` and then did `system '~/foo.sh'`? (I'd test it right now, but I'm at school.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
