Start bash within wine

Hello and good evening

Is there a possibility to execute e.g. a bash command/Linux program out of program running under wine? For instance, I'd like to execute a bash command from the window command line ("wine cmd").

Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend

you can try to use the winebrowser.exe program thats already in Wine to do this. I think it was originally developed to associate with URLs so they would open in the native browser, but I've been able to associate file types or run from cmd just fine and launch almost anything.

Okay, that sounds good

! But how do you associate file types and run almost everything??? I have no idea how to do that...

(Well, alternatively I just had two extremly ugly ideas: one could install an extension to the browser (say firefox) which then launches the bash... Or one can pass information in files which are repeatedly scaned by a linux program that then executes the bash... But you way sounds much better!!!)

Cheers!

Sort of. You have to execute bash give it whatever commands you want it to run via "-c" switch. For example "/bin/bash -c 'ls -la /' ".
