[kwlug-disc] Linux 'equivalent' to Windows 'start' command.

[unsolicited]

Excellent. Thanks.

Apparently xdg- / gnome- / kde-open are out there as well. My test 
showed it wouldn't run executables.

'start .' was just an example. Perhaps an unfortunate one in this case - 
having to do 'konqueror --profile filemanagement', with or without the 
'.' is perfectly fine.

Thanks for nohup, I'll have to check it out.

Detaching from the window is a good thing - and the behaviour of start.

In essence, a command line alternative to Alt-F2.

And 'konqueror --profile filemanagement' is as good an example as any.
