I'm sure it would save a lot of pain for people in the future.

Lets try with this one: RUN(1) User Commands RUN(1) NAME run - start programs with hidden console SYNOPSIS run [-p path] command [-wait] arguments runcommand [-p path] [-wait] argument DESCRIPTION Windows programs are either GUI programs or console programs. When started, console programs will either attach to an existing console or create a new one. GUI programs can never attach to an exiting console. There is no way to attach to an existing console but hide it if started as GUI program. run will do this for you. It works as intermediate and starts a program but makes the console window hidden. With -p path you can add path to the PATH environment variable. Issuing -wait as first program argument will make run wait for program completition, otherwise it returns immediately. The second variant is for creating wrappers. If the executable is named runcommand (eg runemacs), run will try to start the program (eg emacs). EXAMPLES run -p /usr/X11R6/bin xterm run emacs -wait runemacs -wait run make -wait bye ago signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
