Not sure what Debian's "ltsp-localapss" script looks like, but try:
ltsp-localapps "row_metrics.py -i 17a4:0001 -p 9 -w 172 -f 0.2" Note the quotes. At one point, the ltsp-localapps only took the first argument as the command, so the double-quotes were needed to pass the entire command. ltsp-localapps can only be used to launch applications, so running ltsp-localapps uname will not return anything. Think of ltsp-localapps this way: it sets an environment variable that something on the client looks for and that client-side thing then executes the command. It is not a direct communication to the client that receives a direct response. ltsp-localapps will always return nothing on the command line because all it does is set an environment variable. -Gadi On Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 11:09 AM, bob_C <bjc...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Sat, 2011-01-08 23:03:28, < Gideon Romm <ltsp () >> symbio-technologies ! com> wrote: >> > Rather than having users log into the console, they can simply log >> > into LDM and run: >> > ltsp-localapps <your-program-here> >> > It will still save the files to the home directory and they will not >> > need to switch to the console. >> > -Gadi >> >> For some reason, when I try ltsp-localapps it doesn't work for me.
