Running a Program in a new Virtual Terminal
Hello, I'm setting up a computer to be a FTP server on my home network, I also use this computer for Folding at Home. What i usualy like to do is save my first virtual terminal for whatever im going to do, and i open virtual terminal two and three, log onto both, and i start a Folding at Home process on each (I have two processors). I like being able to switch over whenever and see their progress. I do this same thing every time, and i was trying to make a script that would automate the process. I was looking into the "openvt" command to open Folding at Home in the other consoles, but you have to log on to those consoles first! If you dont, you get the output, but its formatted incorectly and you cant exit it. (i was testing out openvt with the "top" command). If you log into the console before you use it, it works great. But if i have to log in, whats the point of having a script? If anyone has any idea on how to do this, idd greatly appriciate it. To make the script idd only have to put the commands in a file and make it executable right? Thanks alot,
Petes
