RE: [coLinux-users] Is there any way to launch a Windows app from colinux commandline?

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?

  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.

    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? :-)
