Start An Hummingbird Exceed Shell With Visual Basic
Hi all.

I have a script that I've finished on Solaris 10 recently. Now they want me to build a GUI for it with VB. This is my first endeavour with VB. I am using Visual Studio 2008 to write the GUI. The GUI is all done and has the string var 'Command' that I want to execute in the shell.

1. Is it possible to call the program to check to see if there is an Exceed shell open on Windows?
-If yes, feed a command stored as a variable by the VB program to it and execute it.
-If not, execute the Exceed program, wait for the user to enter name and pass, then when there is a shell execute the command in the shell.

2. Can I export all the writing that comes up in the shell from the script to a text file and have the VB GUI display it in a window in the GUI? Its something to do with stdout or $1 >> output.txt right?

Thanks for any help!

tcxconfig

tcxconfig(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     tcxconfig(1M)

NAME

       tcxconfig - configure default linearity of 24-bit TrueColor Visual for OpenWindows

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/tcxconfig [linear | nonlinear]

DESCRIPTION

       The tcxconfig script changes the default linearity of a 24-bit TrueColor Visual for OpenWindows on a system with an S24 frame buffer.  When
       the S24 graphics driver for OpenWindows is installed,  the default 24-bit TrueColor Visual is nonlinear. You  can  run  tcxconfig  with	an
       argument that specifies the setting you want.

       OpenWindows should not be running when you execute the tcxconfig script with an option. Start OpenWindows after	tcxconfig has set the lin-
       earity you desire.

OPTIONS

       If you specify no option, tcxconfig displays the current default setting.

       You must become superuser before you can execute  tcxconfig with one of the following options.

       linear	       Set linear visual to be the default 24-bit TrueColor Visual.  This means colors will be gamma-corrected.

       nonlinear       Set nonlinear visual to be the default 24-bit TrueColor Visual.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	success

       1	an error has occurred.
