That's true for the `server` and `ui` subcommands, and it works the way you described both on Windows and Linux (I assume on any POSIX system in fact). But the `winserv` is a new addition, I'm not sure it uses the same semantics (and I'd say it would be strange for it to use the same semantics). _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
