 Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 12:40 am Post subject: dosemu problem w/ tty? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I'm trying to run a simple program via a command line arg:
| Code: |
/usr/bin/dosemu -dump -quiet 'Edits\\_GENEDIT.EXE tmp\\14329.GCF'
|
BUT... I am having 2 (possibly related) issues:
1. When the said program finishes running in dosemu it does *not* exit. (Yes, I have unix -e in the autoexec.bat.)
2. When I run it via a shell wrapper it seems to hang. If I stop it mid-way via the command line I get:
| Code: |
Could not open current VT.
|
I thinking it doesn't like the tty its getting. What is strange is that I have this working on another nearly identical gentoo system and a redhat system, but for some reason this one isn't working.
Any suggestions?

Apparently dosemu is neglecting to exit as advertised so I made the command line:
| Code: |
/usr/bin/dosemu -dumb -quiet 'Edits\\_GENEDIT.EXE tmp\\9344.GCF' -input 'exitemu\r'
|
I also figured out that the reason it was "Hanging" was that when my shell wrapper opened it up, it was acting like that user had not setup dosemu, i.e., asking for the path to the boot image. I edited the global conf file in this case and expliciently point the directory where I had the dos stuff.
e.g.:
| Code: |
$_hdimage = "/var/dosemu/freedos"
|
It was hanging because it wanted an interactive session to do the setup and I had redirected to dev null.
