[9fans] success with 9vx from a terminal

2008-10-22 Thread Chris Brannon
Last night I downloaded 9vx. It works fine from a terminal, using the following invocation: ../9vx.Linux -g -u glenda where -g is the option to run sans GUI. This has one or two complications. There is no way to interrupt or kill the foreground process. Instead, ctrl-c interrupts 9vx itself.
