Console window?

 [1/4] from: joel:neely:fedex at: 27-Apr-2001 7:05


Running REBOL/View 1.1.0.4.2 on RedHat Linux 7.1, launching View from term window works fine, but when I click on the "Console" button, the View desktop disappears and no console shows up. The only way out of this situation that I've found thusfar is kill -9 of the first rebol process (e.g. in top). Thus, my two questions: 1) How do I get a console window? 2) Is there a better way to shut rebol down in a no-window-displayed situation than kill -9? -jn-

The term window becomes the console. You should NOT start View in the background, or your shell might not give View control over the term window once you switch to console. If you did start View in the background then type "fg" into your term window to switch it to the foreground. (All assuming you are using a shell with job control, like bash).

See above.

A normal kill should do. No need for the brutal -9. Alternatively Ctrl-C should do as well, provided that View is the foreground process. -- Holger Kruse [holger--rebol--com]

Duuuuh! That's exactly it... I was firing rebol up with rebol & but was expecting rebol to open another window as its console (in the same fashion that I'd already seen with w2k). Using fg did The Right Thing. I've obviously been spending too much time in w2k and not enough at the coffee pot! Thanks again! -jn-

#!/bin/sh cd ~/rebol/view/ xterm -e ./rebol Volker
