Hey all,
Anybody out there using twm who knows how to get it to execute a
program from a popup menu?
I'm trying something like:
Menu "myapps" {
"My Applications" f.title
"chess" f.exec xboard
}
Apparently, sh (BASH, in my case) can't run binary executables. I have
found that sh -c some_executable will run some_executable from a prompt
(I used the fortune program to test this), but I can't find a way to
pass the -c to sh in the f.exec function call. I have also tried:
f.exec $(xboard)
it complains about the $ sign, so I tried enclosing it in quotes, then
it didn't work at all.
