Specify name of the service in place of COMMAND argument. You can also specify service argument, appending it to the service name after + character. 2. for some applications the name I have to pass to qubes.StartApp is not the same as the command used on the command line (e.g `janondisttorbrowser` instead of `torbrowser`).

[qubes-users] Opening applications using qvm-run
I'm trying to figure out how to open applications in VMs from dom0 using qvm-run, and how to do so without blocking the terminal in dom0. For example: ``` $ qvm-run anon "torbrowser qubes-os.org" Running 'torbrowser qubes-os.org' on anon ``` The above command sucessfully launches Tor Browser in the `anon` VM, but I can't run another command in the same dom0 terminal window until Tor Browser (in the VM) finishes (exits). Alternately I can do something like ``` $ qvm-run anon "gnome-terminal -- torbrowser qubes-os.org" ``` but that leaves a terminal window running in the `anon` VM. I've also tried all the usual variations on `nohup`, `disown`, `&`, and the like, but none of them seem to do the trick. Any ideas? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
