Run?!
Does Linux's Shells have a Run Command ?
Please explain :-) thx |
what is Run Command?
|
Can you explain a bit more on that?
What command are you talking about? And what you trying to do? |
Judging from your post here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...e-file-777151/
to execute a file or "running" it use "sh filename" or "./filename" from terminal. |
options have the diffrent commands
|
Like "Run" in Windows?

I think he means Alt+F2. |
terminal options . not windows! Thanks!
I might be wrong but like in windows .
Or what might help is a Webpage with all the commands when using the terminal and simple instructions beside them .. |
Hi,
I think you are referring to the 'Run' box/option you get when clicking on the Start button in Windows. From that box you can launch a command. In my opinion this doesn't exist in Linux, but you can launch about any command from a terminal. Other users already have indicated how you can switch to a 'fullblown' terminal session, or you can open a terminal window from within your GUI. To list Linux commands and their descriptions I find these sites very helpfull: http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/ http://ss64.com/bash/ I hope this helps you out a bit. Kind regards, Eric |
You mean like a window where you type the command and it is run as a program?
You can just type in in a terminal, but closing the terminal will kill the application. In GNOME you can get a window that you type the command in that closes automatically without killing the application by pressing Alt+F2. This is convenient when you don't want to have a terminal window hanging around just to keep the application running. But you won't be able to see the program's command-line output. You also said if the shell has a run command, the shell practically is the run command! |
Fullblown terminal session ?
|
That would work. But if you just want to launch a GUI application, then I would recommend using Alt+F2 if you have GNOME (I don't know if it works in KDE, maybe it does).
|
KDE has a run command in the menus, but--as many have mentioned--it's easy enough to just open a terminal.
