I am not up on Linux but under OS X (free bsd un*x) the command would be open /usr/local/lv70/labview /home/jason/myvi.vi the open command tells the OS to open the application associated with the VI. You need to launch the application and then tell it to open the document. But I just checked and it can also be done by executing LabVIEW with a VI file as the argument. (again at least on OS X) but I think it works as well on Windows/linux. So for my installation it would be: /Applications/National\ Instruments/LabVIEW\ 7.0/LabVIEW.app/Contents/MacOS/LabVIEW ~/Desktop/PCdynamicevents.vi (all on one line with a space in front of the vi file name). Be sure that the VI is set to auto-run at launch. -Scott
