`Launching' applications
[1/7] from: brett:codeconscious at: 23-Jun-2001 11:52
Hi David,
Sorry I won't be able to answer your questions because I either don't know
or have forgotten about "rlaunch". Where did you find it? It would have been
a contribution from a Rebol user not from Rebol Tech.

Rebol's own launch facility comes with the /Pro licensed version of View:
>> help launch
USAGE:
LAUNCH value /reboot /uninstall /link url /quit /secure-cmd
DESCRIPTION:
Launches a new REBOL interpreter process.
LAUNCH is a native value.
ARGUMENTS:
value -- The command-line arguments (Type: any-string)
REFINEMENTS:
/reboot
/uninstall
/link
url -- (Type: any)
/quit
/secure-cmd
There are some limitations on this command which escape me, so if this is
something you want to find out about send another post to the list.
Brett.

Thanks, I will now investigate further. It must be something that got downloaded from
some
REBsite, and perhaps I just saw it when I installed my Pro copy of the viewer, so I thought
it
came from that. I will follow your instructions and get back to you if I don't figure
it out.
Thanks for the response...

I have now read your answer. I am trying to `launch' a .BAT file or a `non-rebol' shell
process.
So perhaps `launch' is the wrong word?
What should I be looking for?

I am trying to figure out the `launch' facility and run into difficulty.
Here are the questions:
(1) I am in trouble as soon as I see
Run "rlaunch", then run "lockserver.r", ...
in the instructions. I have rlaunch.exe, but I can't find a `lockserver r' anywhere.
(2) A simple example of a .BAT file or some equally simple thing would be
instructive for me. As it is, I find the instructions confusing at best and
sometimes contradictory at worst. Having something simple to `launch' as a test
would let me know if I was making progress or not.
(3) In what way, if any, does this stuff interact with firewalls like Zone Alarm? Do
we have to `do' anything to prepare port 7007 or any such?
[In case it matters, I am asking the above questions in a Windows context].

The `RLAUNCH' stuff is what you get when you go to the Rebol Library and go to
SHELL and click on `launcher-ext42' ...

Hi,
'launch serves for launching of separate Rebol processes (script file as an
argument can be passed in IIRC), but you can't launch external app that way.
If you want to launch external apps, you have to own /Pro version. The
command then is - 'call ...

I do own the Pro version, and that is _exactly_ what I have been looking for.
Thanks very much for this `big' help...
