No: launch icedove from a terminal itself launched from a terminal. I have a Lua script which calls "os.execute(<program>)", and as Clive remarked, this calls a shell. The Lua script itself is called from a terminal, and I would like everything to close when the program is launched. I made the double terminal example, because that's basically the same problem (it seems to me). <snip> Le 01/12/2011 16:59, Iuri Guilherme dos Santos Martins a écrit :
Well, if you are willing to learn bash then what I would recommend is exactly what Chris said: you run an external script (whose first line would be #!/bin/bash) with the necessary commands to make exactly what you wanted.
Yeah, I think learning bash will be definitely simpler. But I love Lua... and don't really want to learn a new language, even though now that I use Debian, learning bash won't be wasting time... Paul
