Re: putting xwin into background from a batch script

Thanks Igor. Just after I posted this, I rememberd there's a run command in 
cygwin now as well. That did the trick for me.

run xwin 
run xbindkeys ...

Yep, it's called "start".  From a command prompt, type "help start".

putting xwin into background from a batch script

2004-02-19 Thread J S 
Hi,

I have a batch script to start an xdmcp session. Once the xwin command runs 
I need to start up xbindkeys. However the program hangs at the xwin command 
until the session is closed down, then executes xbindkeys:

xwin -noreset -ac -query %SERVER% -from %IP% -clipboard -nodecoration 
-emulate3buttons 50 -dpi 91 -once
xbindkeys

Is there a way (in batch) to fork the xwin session into the background ?

Thanks for any help,

JS.
