Re: non-interactive dos commands from linux command line

[Alastair Hole]

This is excellent - just the job...

Next stage is the PHP web front end:

When running this in a terminal, I see the usual output of dosemu - version no. etc.
What happens to this output when the command is called from a system() command or similar (in PHP?) - does it just disappear somehow, or could it cause problems?

Also, do you have any additional comments/advice on running dosemu through php/apache?

Many, many thanks,
Alastair Hole

I am trying to run a DOS program non-interactively, directly from the
linux command line (eventually it needs to be called from a PHP script
to provide a web interface to the program, but that's another story):

./dosemu -home -D-a -I  2>/dev/null 'keystroke
"\rD:\\fu\\bar.exe\rexitemu\r"'

./dosemu -dumb -home -quiet -input '\rD:\\fu\\bar.exe\rexitemu\r' > foo

gives you stdout in foo, if the DOS prog uses stdout only (no direct video
tricks).
