That means I don't have any method that can call a script file to change my directory? In Win DOS, we can write a bash file, for example like abc.cmd where abc.cmd will change my directory , for instance from c:\jessy\jessy2 to c:\jessy. We can just simply call abc.cmd in order to to the task?

2. In Win, as long as I set my environment path, I can easily run abc.cmd in whatever directory I am in? How about in Linux, is there any environment path for me to set up so that I can run my shell file irregardless of my path?

3. Regarding the start command, for example, my current path in my command prompt is C:\Document_and_Setting, when i run start. command, it will open a new window for me and I can easily access the files which are stored under C:\Document_and_Setting.

4. Is Linux having this command? set DISPLAY jessy:0.0? I am just wondering why I can't run this command in my Linux?

5. Is Linux having WIN's equivalent command - title ? I wish to change title for every different console?

Thanks. Sorry I am indeed very newbie in Linux.
Thanks.

openvt

OPENVT(1)							     Linux 1.x								 OPENVT(1)

NAME

       openvt - start a program on a new virtual terminal (VT).

SYNOPSIS

       openvt [-c vtnumber] [-s] [-u] [-l] [-v] [--] command command_options

DESCRIPTION

       openvt  will  find the first available VT, and run on it the given command with the given command options, standard input, output and error
       are directed to that terminal. The current search path ($PATH) is used to find the requested command. If no command is specified  then  the
       environment variable $SHELL is used.

   OPTIONS
       -c vtnumber
	      Use the given VT number and not the first available. Note you must have write access to the supplied VT for this to work.

       -s     Switch to the new VT when starting the command. The VT of the new command will be made the new current VT.

       -u     Figure out the owner of the current VT, and run login as that user.  Suitable to be called by init. Shouldn't be used with -c or -l.

       -l     Make the command a login shell. A - is prepended to the name of the command to be executed.

       -v     Be a bit more verbose.

       -w     wait  for command to complete. If -w and -s are used together then openvt will switch back to the controlling terminal when the com-
	      mand completes.

       --     end of options to openvt.

NOTE

       If openvt is compiled with a POSIX (GNU) getopt() and you wish to set options to the command to be run, then you must  supply  the  end	of
       options -- flag before the command.

EXAMPLES

       openvt can be used to start a shell on the next free VT, by using the command:

       openvt bash

       To start the shell as a login shell, use:

       openvt -l bash

       To get a long listing you must supply the -- separator:

       openvt -- ls -l

HISTORY

       Earlier, openvt was called open.  It was written by Jon Tombs <jon@gtex02.us.es or jon@robots.ox.ac.uk>.  The -w idea is from "sam".
