Am 29. Jan, 2013 schwätzte [email protected] so:
moin moin Joe,
Thanks James and Hans, but I still can't get either to work.
James: gwenview filename.jpg > /dev/null 2>&1 &
Hans: gwenview filename.jpg 2>/dev/null &
Both examples work to cause gwenview to open filename.jpg without
any error messages. However, when I close the terminal window,
gwenview also closes.
Sounds like your terminal does the wrong thing :).
Try this:
nohup gwenview filename.jpg >/dev/null 2>&1 &
ciao,
der.hans
What am I doing wrong?
-----------
Put an '&' at the end to run the command in the background,
then you can close the terminal.
gwenview filename.jpg 2>/dev/null &
This will also work for within a script if you want the script
to move on directly after launching gwenview.
