Console anyone ?

I get a console pop up and go away again with

  run bash -c "(xterm >/dev/null 2>&1 &)"

But not when I leave out any of ">/dev/null", "2>&1" or "&".  Looks
like it's something to do with this combination of redirections and
background execution.  As the redirected output goes to an invisible
console created by "run" anyway, you should be fine with a simple

  run bash -c "exec xterm"

(Plus your other options and paths, of course ;-)).


so long, benny
