- Start another program in separate CLI.
- .description
- BRun is a very simple program which will start any other
- CLI program in a totally separate CLI.
- BRun works a bit like Run with input/output redirected to
- NIL:. Now you may say, why not just do this with a macro:
-
- Alias BRun Run >NIL: <NIL: [] >NIL: <NIL:
-
- This is what I tried for a while, but unfortunately it
- doesn't always work (I can't actually remember what made it
- fail, but believe me there was a problem!)
-
- Also, redirecting Run's output to NIL: means that you won't
- see any error messages from Run itself, and though it re-
- directs standard output it can't stop other programs from
- opening '*' and writing to your console window anyway.
-
- BRun simply creates a new and totally separate CLI to run
- the one command you give it. It does not generate any output
- unless there is an error in creating the new CLI.
-
- CDBRun is also quite simple and will start any other CLI
- program in a totally separate CLI with a different current
- directory. This is intended for all those programs which
- require certain configuration or support files to be in the
- current directory when they start. With this command you
- don't actually need to change the current directory of the
- CLI you are typing into.
