I've never tried using xscreensaver before, and so I am not sure if this is an xscreensaver configuration problem, or an xbase configuration problem: I recently tried installing xscreensaver, but when I try to start it I get an error message that xscreensaver does not have permission to open the d

I ordered from LSL (from a US address) and it took several weeks to show up because they had some problem with a bad address label, so it bounced back and forth a few times. I e-mailed them for help, and they took almost a week to get a response. Other than that, they seem reputable and offer Deb

Executing a process on another virtual terminal

1998-02-23 Thread Fulgham, Brent/SCO
Is there an easy way to start a process on another virtual terminal? For example, I would like to run the RC5DES client from Distributed.net on a virtual terminal, so I can alt-f7 over to it and see how it is doing from time to time. I tried cat rc5des > /dev/tty7, which doesn't work... Thanks,

For those who are interested, my BASH problems were due to the presence of some control characters in the script file. I was using the "ae" editor, which in its latest incarnation was inserting a "^M" at the end of each line to signify a carriage return. Once I switched to vi I could see the char
