similar to: Running Wine apps via Cron

Hi, I'm trying to run a DOS program within a cron job. After much trial-and-error I settled on the following approach: - rm -r ~/.wine - call wine without any arguments, this lets wine generate a default configuration in ~/.wine - change ~/.wine/config: set GraphicsDriver to ttydrv instead of x11drv - the cron job consists of a shell script that runs the DOS program with "wcmd

Hello, I try to use a ttydrv driver so I edited a wine config file and modify this line : "GraphicsDriver" = "ttydrv" but when start a dos application wine display this message : x11drv: Can't open display: Thanks for your responses. --- Arnaud Duhamel - SOLINUX arnaud.duhamel@solinux.fr http://www.solinux.fr 1, rue Joliot Curie 80200 Flamicourt T?l :

Has anyone ever tried to actually get a tribes server running under wine or another emulator? Just the other day i was setting up a linux counter-strike server. My friend asked me if i would setup a Tribes 1.0 or 1.11 server. I thought linux would be a great way to do it. I was trying to run a headless / dedicated starsiege tribes server (1.0/1.11) I Installed the tribes files (including the

>Doesn't the cron job run as a root user (or member of the root group)? >Certainly root owns the cron daemon, afaik. You are right insofar as the cron daemon process is owned by root. However, when the cron daemon runs a job, it starts the the job's process with the privileges (and the environment, e.g. $HOME) of the user for whom the job was added. I added the job to a crontab file

Hi All, we are developing a windows/wine app for automation of MS Word (serial printing in background to PS files with the WINEPS driver on SuSE 9.2 platform, wine-20050211). We want to run this application and Word in background as server, no graphical output should be occur in this environment: 1. Using "ttydrv" device I found out that all graphical output is disabled and wine

I am currently using Windows self extractor from the command line and it works great to convert zip files to windows exe's. The issue I'm having is if I try and cron this through a shell scipt it complains with the following + wine '/usr/share/wine-c/Program Files/WinZip Self-Extractor/WinZIPse.EXE' /y /le /overwrite

I am TRYING to use the most recent release of wine. Am I correct to assume that there is no longer a .wine/config file? Am I also correct to assume that all documentation still refers to the .wine/config file, and gives NO F*CKING help about how to use the new system? If these two assumptions are correct, it seems to be a real stupid way to do things. How is a new user EVER supposed to

I have a situation where I am using wine on Linux and I want to prevent wine from trying to start the interactive debugger. I am using wine version: Wine 20040505 When an executable fails an assertion (assert(0) for example) wine attempts to display a dialog box asking the user if they want to debug the application: Assertion failed: 0, file c:\documents and settings\fsola\my documents\visual

Hi! I tried to compile the latest CVS version (fetched this morning) of wine, but compilation fails with: gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -O2 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -fPIC -D__WINE__ -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -o wnd.o wnd.c In file included from ../../include/wine/winuser16.h:5, from ttydrv.h:19,

As one last option, try installing Internet Explorer - the installer might be depending on stuff that it provides. It may simply be a deficiency in Wine. File a bug report, and please post your experiences in the AppDB page for it here: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2294 If you want to maintain the app and test it with new wine versions, feel free. Thanks, Scott Ritchie On

OS: SuSE 10.0 Wine: v20050725-3.2 I am trying to move this ancient DOS accounting application from a dying SCO OpenServer system where it has run happily under DOS/Merge for years. The original installation have long since disappeared. I made a tar archive of the mc8 directory and all its subdirectories. moved it to the SuSE box and untarred it under my ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/mc8

Some of you might not have seen the posts on wine-devel about a book I'm writing with Ira Krakow. We're basically going to cover everything about Wine up to Wine development itself. Right now we've got 5 out of 14 chapters completed. Anyway, I've got some questions.. 1. I'd like to cover using the ttydrv driver, but I need a good example. Is there anyone out there using

Hello, I have a RH9 Samba machine (default Server/no updates) joined to an NT4DC with an XP and another NT4 box connecting and sharing files just fine. So I thought, it came to my attention that from the Windows GUI you cannot change the permissions on a file or folder even if you own the file. I have been over the smb.conf file and tried all sorts of examples with no luck. Strange thing

I have attempted to get wine functioning for several days but have been having no output recognizable as a windows program, rather the terminal acts much as though the output was that of a cat of a binary file and requires a reset to become useful again. I am running Slack 7.1 on 2.2.18 on a dual celeron machine using XFree86 4.0.2. All other programs are functioning normally. I have used

I recently reinstalled RH8 as a VMware guest on a WinXP box. I used a previously proven script at level 3, containing, in one line with no inappropriate spaces: mount -t smbfs -o user,noauto,dmask=777,fmask=777,username=xx, password=yy //DELLBOX/linuxShare /mnt/linuxShare I get a failure that reports numerous possibilities including bad fs, and other other things. I suspect I omitted a

Greetings, I am a new wine user, and im hoping you could let me know if what I want to do is possible with wine. I have a win32 console application (I would assume since it does not run in DOS mode). This application will read in a text file, find what its looking for, process it, and creates another file(s) from that (just to give you an idea of what the program does). What I would like to do

Hi. I'm trying to get plugger to work with ogg123 and it does - sort of. No matter what the song is, it plays 24 seconds of the song and then dies. Same spot every time - I've tried with a short song (Janis Joplin Mercedes Benz) and a long song (Cracker Eurotrash Girl). I have this as the mime identification in the plugger rc file: audio/ogg: ogg: Vorbis Ogg audio application/x-ogg: ogg:

Can someone point me to instructions on how to build a pxeboot/initrd.img with updated drivers. I would like to pxe boot and install rh8 on a newer machine, and the pxeboot files that come with rh8 (2.4.20-8) don't support my e1000 NIC. I believe that the newer 2.4.20-28.8 drivers will, but I'm having trouble finding instructions in rebuilding the pxeboot initrd.img + vmlinuz to
