Alternatively, is there a way to “boot” a wine prefix and keep it running? No booting, but why not just fork a background task that does not use a GUI to keep Wine going forever? As long as they are using the same prefix, the prefix will be 'up' for that time. winegcc something simple, like a task that just loops forever and calls Sleep(). wine sleeper.exe.so & sleeper_pid=$! # Alternative have the sleeper write its PID to a file Once the script is done, kill the sleeping task. (There might be a more efficient way to write a 'daemon' for Windows than calling Sleep() in a never-ending loop.) Andrew
