Hi,
i'd like to start a dos programm made by myself under suse linux 8.0.
how can i start this programm by a cron job? like: dosemu -run
/.../programname.exe ?
it doesn't work! or is dosemu run permanently. i like to start different
programms at different times. the programms runs under dosemu ...i tested
it.

try this:
dosemu -E "programname.bat"

mind that you must have that file accessible so either put into your root
directory on "c:"
or add a valid path into the autoexec.bat

secondary add into your bat the exitemu line like this:
cd programdir
programname.exe
exitemu

that way you'll exite dosemu rightafter execution and you won't have to kill
it

what WOULD be nice (Stas do you hear me?) would be to add parameters to
exitemu, so a linux process could evaluate succes or failure of the dos
program execution.

thanks for you help!
