Re: How do I run a background command via Net::SSH::W32Perl

I have not tried to do anything from a Doze box, but take a look at Re: run X-application via system call? for some pointers, in particular the -c option to xterm -e bash. Either the --rcfile or -c option will be right for what you want to do.

Thanks for the ideas guys but none work so far. I did see a posting from someone that I needed to close STDERR/STDOUT/STDIN prior to running the script in order to run procs in the background. Could anyone tell me how to do that? (Not a Unix guy)	[reply]

Unfortuantely, the only doze box I have is on a DHCP connection and will not accept raw IP settings. Some things to check: setenv is a c-shell command. If your unix box is running sh or bash, use `DISPLAY=xyz.xyz.xyz.xyz:0:0; xterm -c 'myprog.pl &'` [download] or something like that.	[reply] [d/l]
