This is actually pretty easy to fix, if you don't mind compiling your own version. All you need to do is build a "GUI" version of plink.exe. By default (at least with the Cygwin build using Makefile.cyg), plink.exe is built as a "Console" app. In order to prevent the console windows you see when it's run via Eclipse/TortoiseSVN, you need to use a "GUI" version. These instructions are for compiling via Cygwin, but I'm guessing there must be a similar approach for the other methods: - go to the "windows" subdir of the source - edit Makefile.cyg - change the "all:" target and add "plinkgui.exe" just after "plink.exe" - make a copy of the "plink.exe" target dependency/build lines - change the target of the copy to "plinkgui.exe" - add "-mwindows" just after $(CC) in the plinkgui.exe build line - run make You should end up with both "plink.exe" and "plinkgui.exe". plink.exe will be a "Console" app and "plinkgui.exe" will be a "GUI" app. The GUI version will not display the console windows. If you're trying to debug a problem you probably want to use "plink.exe", but as long as everything is working and you just want to prevent the console windows, use "plinkgui.exe". ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
