First of all, hello everyone.

I'm currently testing a point of sale software on linux, its web based so it works, but for printing I need and extra software, an .exe.

For this to work correctly I would need that exe to start automatically with linux, i had no problems setting it to start with linux, but when you open it you need to press start.

The program as an option to start with windows, but with wine that does not work.

What i would like to know is if there's any way to press that start button automatically, or something like that, when the program starts.

Sorry if my explanation was confusing,

Thanks for the help in advanced.

Eltron Thermal printer?

Printer model isn't the problem, even generic printers work, what i'm looking for is a way to make the program that runs trough wine start automatically.

The attached file shows the three options available at the start of the program: configuration, start and exit.

It's in Portuguese, I need that start to be pressed automatically, so the app starts really running, if there's a way of course.


Thanks in advanced.

Is it a GUI application, or is that just a GUI prompt for an otherwise headless program? If it's just a prompt, you can give it a virtual frame buffer to use for its GUI prompt, and then simulate a mouse click in the VFB with xdotool or similar.

Honestly idk, when the program is working, by pressing start, it runs in the background, now about that xdotool i've heard of that and i'm tempted of trying, but i have no idea what's vfb, my knowledge of linux is a little limited, i'm still learning, but i'll search for that.

maybe the file.exe has an /h option?

It may be documented in the exe itself.
