[Question] Terminal question

[jcrommie]

Hello, I'm currently looking for advice or help on how to hide the terminal after a wine command to start a windows application. I was lead to believe that this is apart of the wine call in order to make this happen. I'm currently on a SLED 11 SP2 running IE8 with no issues thus far, but need to hide the terminal in the background without the user seeing or able to tamper with anything on the terminal window. I was lead to believe there's a way to make this call from a bash file or a script of some sort to do the terminal call like an .exe file, but without much luck so far. I do want to say in advance that anything i say maybe incorrect since I'm fairly new to Linux and been searching threw several means on making this work.

Unless you've disabled winemenubuilder, Wine should have created menu entries for any apps you've installed through it. Just use those, and the terminal will never appear. If it didn't for some reason, yes, you can manually create menu entries and/or desktop links for apps installed in Wine the same as you would for any native app. How to do that varies by desktop environment, and is not really a Wine question. Ask your distro.

Thank you Dimesio! Got it working now and don't have terminal running on screen. All is left now is to harass SUSE to support Chrome for SLED haha.
