So, the point of that command is to make an xterm that you can kill to stop your fossil ui, so you don't stack up 10 fossil ui commands. In windows, you can use Launchy for this (similar to gnome-do, quicksilver, etc.). Here's an improved script that doesn't depend on nc. Windows users should be able to convert this to a batch file that uses cmd \K (I think that's the right option) instead of xterm:
#!/bin/sh cd $HOME/Notes/fossil-wiki xterm -e "fossil ui -P 5555 || google-chrome localhost:5555" Bill On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 10:18 AM, Bill Burdick <bill.burd...@gmail.com>wrote: > Every now and then I review my need for personal wiki.
