Hide Terminal window (using xfce4. and 7.2-RELEASE)?
Whenever I run the particular Linux MATLAB installation I have access to, it must be run from the command-line. Consequently, I have the MATLAB gui and an open terminal window (which only gets in the way). Is there a way to hide this terminal window completely? If I close it, MATLAB closes. I know I can move it to another Workspace, but I'm hoping there's another way. I don't mind that the Terminal window opens whenever I run MATLAB, I would just like to be able to hide it each time. NOTE: When I say hide, I mean simply make it not show up on the screen. I do not mean hide the process or anything of that nature.

I know I can move it to another Workspace, but I'm hoping there's another way. This is a function the window manager (i. e. XFCE 4) will have to do. Maybe you can do a trick to not have a terminal window. How about running the MATLAB program from a kind of Start: dialog. I know it existed in XFCE 3. Create an icon for it, and as the command line, enter the MATLAB starting command. Or does MATLAB explicitlely require to run from out of a terminal session? I don't mind that the Terminal window opens whenever I run MATLAB, I would just like to be able to hide it each time. Check for some kind of minimize after start option in XFCE 4. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

More specifically, can't it be started from the XFCE menu with Run Program or right-click the desktop and Create Launcher?

If it's just a single command, you could run it as command which will run command in the background and leave it running if you close the terminal window. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Why? More specifically, can't it be started from the XFCE menu with Run Program or right-click the desktop and Create Launcher? I don't know, honestly. Whenever I try to run it from a Launcher or via Run Program, it will display the splash screen, but then terminate. This also happens on all Linux machines I use. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I'm not familar with MATLAB but you may find ports/sysutils/screen helpful. See http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ for more information. I use it for starting some programs in a detached mode but they can be reattached at any time.

There's a tool called detach included in the ports. It allows you to start a process and then keep it running independent of the existence of its starting shell or your login shell. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
