Hallo, I would like to run a Windows program minimised in Wine. In Windows I run it from cygwin with the command cmd /c "start /wait /min /low c:/WinSpice/wspice3.exe -b $1" where cmd is the Windows command line interpreter; /c creates a new instance of it and closes it when done; start starts the program wspice3 (-b is a wspice3 switch); /low runs it at low priority; /wait means further commands wait until finished (not the default!) and /min runs it minimised. I have tried this in Wine by copying across cmd.exe, but the /min switch is ignored. It is read, as the command chokes on a /m switch for example. What I am using is nice -n 10 /opt/cxoffice/bin/wine --workdir $PWD c:\\winspice3\\wspice3.exe -b $PWD/$1 but this pops up a graphics window which takes a lot of CPU cycles. There used to be a -iconic switch to Wine, but it seems to have gone when '-' type switches were replaced by '--' ones. I couldn't trace the history of when and why that happened, or why -iconic disappeared. Does anyone know how I can run this job, something like nice -n 10 /opt/cxoffice/bin/wine --workdir $PWD com /c "start /wait /min c:\\winspice3\\wspice3.exe -b $PWD/$1" or nice -n 10 /opt/cxoffice/bin/wine --workdir $PWD --iconic c:\\winspice3\\wspice3.exe -b $PWD/$1 Best regards, Graham Petley _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
