I'm sure this is a silly question, but..... I have an application that is started by a script in .kde/Autostart. When this app is started a console window appears, if the console window is closed the app stops. I know, duh! (of course the same thing happens when you launch it manually from a console window) (BTW, it's a helper app for MetaVNC that handles clipboard functions) I'd like to hide this console window. I know in Windows .cmd scripts you can use something like, 'start app.exe', which starts the application and does not bind it to your script; the script can continue and close and the application launched keeps going. Is there a way to do this in Linux? Thanks, Jeff Birt Electronics Engineer Integrated Systems Facility University of Missouri - Rolla 573.341.6058
