Debian's "open" program or my "own-tty" program
<URL:http://www.pobox.com/~kragen/sw/> will allow you to run something
on a particular VC from cron, /etc/rc, or whatever.  I haven't tried it
with dosemu, but I imagine it should work.

You can have dosemu close itself by running the "exitemu" program in
your batch file.

Computers are the tools of the devil. It is as simple as that. There is no
monotheism strong enough that it cannot be shaken by Unix or any Microsoft
product. The devil is real. He lives inside C programs. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
