Hi there, I have both colinux and cygwin sshd running. I use putty to connect to the colinux virtual machine and I am happy with that. However sometimes I may need to launch a Windows app (Word, for instance) to view/edit a colinux file (let's say foo.doc). Now certainly I can switch to explorer and open the colinux samba share folder and then double click on foo.doc, and Windows will launch Word for me. But it would be far cooler if I can do that from some command line script within colinux. I tried to use the cygwin Xterm, and cd to /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office10, and then run ./WINWORD.EXE, and it works! However if I connect to cygwin sshd from colinux (or write an ssh execution script) and do the same, Word doesn't show up at all (but I am sure it is running, coz I can find it running from Windows taskmanager). Any one has any tips? :-) |

Its quite possible that controlling terminal requirements apply to Windows like it does with X as well... I doubt there is any way to get around this. I can think of some more complex ways to actually get it working; like having a cygwin script daemon on Windows waiting for particular messages from colinux via SSH writing to a text file (or something like that) to start up an application, so a cygwin script actually kicks it off (thereby controlling the terminal, and displaying properly.) I doubt you could do it directly from colinux. Ian On 10/30/05, Xing Qiu <liq...@ho...> wrote: > > Hi there, > > I have both colinux and cygwin sshd running.

I doubt you could do = it > directly from colinux. It's quite possible to accomplish, but the reason it doesn't work is because the sshd service has no associated desktop (as most other services). To run a windows application you would need to somehow make it attach to the current desktop (and could be more than one, as when multiple users have an open session) or create a new one if that user is not logged in. Never tried to do anything like that, but I suppose it should be just a matter of programming something that does that and invokes the desired windows application. There may be more things involved, like certain permissions that need to be enabled to do this from a service.

iirc there is an option in the services control panel to let a service access the gui have you tried turning that on for your ssh service? -----Original Message----- From: col...@li...

Hi, Instead of running winword.exe directly have you tried using "start windword.exe". You may even find that the start command represents a stem from which you could get the kind of desktop interaction you are looking for... Pull up a CMD box, and try "start /?" for info on it..
