Hi, everyone
I'm trying to run xinit.exe to start a GUI program in a windows cmd
prompt. The command I run:
"c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/xinit.exe
/home/Administrator/rdesktop.exe -f 192.168.1.79
But, it seems that rdesktop.exe isn't running, the window was just
showing a terminal prompt.
Using the command lines from the start menu items created for the xinit
package as a template (see [1]), I think you need something like:
c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/xinit.exe
/home/Administrator/rdesktop.exe -f 192.168.1.79"
The command string being given to bash -c needs quoting, otherwise
subsequent words are assumed to be parameters to that command.
run needs to be given the -quote option to protect those quotes.
