I'm writing a ksh script and I have to run a executable at a separate Command Prompt window.
On Linux, ./filename. ext is to run scripts, and start filename.
In computing, start is a command of the IBM OS/2, Microsoft Windows and ReactOS command-line interpreter cmd.exe (and some versions of COMMAND.COM) to start programs or batch files or to open files or directories using the default program. start is not available as a standalone program.
Overview. The Linux command line is a text interface to your computer. Often referred to as the shell, terminal, console, prompt or various other names, it can give the appearance of being complex and confusing to use.
you can run the cmd.exe program on Linux, Solaris Mac and BSD by using a compatibility layer called Wine However, because of differences between the platforms, you will have to revise you scripts and manually check that things like paths and executable names are still valid. Thanks for the response.
xdg-open
is a similar command line app in linux.
see https://superuser.com/questions/38984/linux-equivalent-command-for-open-command-on-mac-windows for details on its use.
