Question Hiding app window
I am facing a problem while creating/executing a process in C. I am using old fork/exec mechanism. The problem is:
I want to hide the console window of the app i am instantiating. Remember i am instantiating a console application from a GUI application.

Is this possible? How?

Comments are welcome here or at this page.

UNIX ain't windows. You don't get console windows unless you ask. "Hiding" a window is a really lame solution -- just don't make console windows. If you're getting console windows you need to track down whatever's running these things in xterm instead of by themselves.
