Summary: start command does not support /B option Product: Wine Version: 0.9.46. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: test AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: m.gritsch@gmail.com
The Wine program 'start' does understand some options (e.g. /MIN, /MAX), but some others are missing. In particular I miss the option /B which starts an application without creating a new window: http://www.ss64.com/nt/start.html

--- Comment #1 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2008-10-30 02:14:11 --- Is this still an issue in current (1.1.7 or newer) wine?

--- Comment #2 from Markus Gritsch m.gritsch@gmail.com 2008-10-30 04:45:05 --- Yes, the problem still exists. See the terminal session at the end of this comment for details.
The main problem is, that the command 'start' refuses to work at all, if the option /B is present. It would already be an improvement, if the option /B would be silently ignored if wine is not able to start a program without creating a new window.
Terminal session:
Z:\home\markus>markus@markus-desktop:~$ wine --version wine-1.1.7 markus@markus-desktop:~$ wine cmd CMD Version 1.1.7
Z:\home\markus>start /B err:start:wmain Option 'L"/B"' not recognized Start a program, or open a document in the program normally used for files with that suffix. Usage: start [options] program_filename [...] start [options] document_filename
Options: /M[inimized] Start the program minimized. /MAX[imized] Start the program maximized. /R[estored] Start the program normally (neither minimized nor maximized). /W[ait] Wait for started program to finish, then exit with its exit code. /Unix Use a Unix filename and start the file like windows explorer. /L Show end-user license.

Here's a patch to ignore it. It does nothing, but will allow start to run.

--- Comment #5 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2009-08-02 00:25:31 --- Markus, is there some app that depends on this behavior? Perhaps some of your own batch files need it?
