Open the application in a separate console window

Question

I am currently writing an application that I would like to open in a new terminal window by resizing it in the process, and not the one in which the call command was entered. How should I do it? I am using the gnome terminal and will be writing a C ++ application.

Answer 1

Try it gnome-terminal --geometry="20x10" -e 'command'(20 - height, 10 - width).

In C ++, you can invoke a command using system () .

Answer 2

++ . , , , system(), cstdlib.

:

    system("<your-shell-command> <parameters>"); 

,

    system("/usr/bin/gnome-terminal /usr/executables/a.out"); 

    system("C:\\Windows\\cmd.exe C:\\Users\FuUser\\Binaries\a.exe"); 

Answer 3

If you do this from the Linux console, you want openvt:

If you are talking about a terminal window under X, you can usually use a command like

gnome-terminal -e "command"
