I suggest just running your little Windows program under Wine.
Don't use wcmd, you don't need it.
For instance, in my ~/bin, I have a shell script winword
which just contains
   wine -- "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe" "$@"
That more or less lets me run microsoft word from the commandline.

You can configure wine to not require X.  I've done it
on some commandline Windows programs I wanted to use
in shell scripts on Linux.  It was and is a pain, I
believe, because so few of the Wine developers
use commandline Windows programs without X, but it
is doable.  (And maybe it's easier than it used to be;
I don't know.)

I know for sure that even without X loaded (telinit 3 or ssh w/o X),
it's possible to use commandline Windows programs, with either x11drv or
ttydrv specified in the config.

Eg, "wine -- p3_corr.exe p3_1.ent p3_1.sor" works fine through ssh.

Vincent,

I am quite sure that x11drv and an unset DISPLAY variable don't work. I
submitted a patch to fall back to ttydrv yesterday.

Hmmm... This here seems to say the opposite (or if there's something
obvious I missed, please point it to me):

Are you sure that you don't have a Wine-server running in the background,
perhaps because you started the wineserver explicit in the background or
because there is another wine process running or there is a crashed wine
process stuck?

But for me with even another wine-process in the background and with xst
expilicit a CUI application:
> setenv XILINX l:\webpack-5.2

hertz:~/work/projekte/alice/pasa-astf/fpga/pasamain> unsetenv DISPLAY
hertz:~/work/projekte/alice/pasa-astf/fpga/pasamain> /spare/bon/wine/wine -- /spare/bon/webpack-5.2/bin/nt/xst -quiet -ifn __projnav/pasamain.xst -ofn pasamain.syr
x11drv: Can't open display:

I'm sure I don't have any wine or wineserver process hanging, it was the
first time since last boot (this morning) I launched Wine. A quick ps
showed the same thing also.

Do xst try to open windows (or MessageBox, etc.), hence needing a
graphics driver? Have you tried with a "Hello world" type program?

ttydrv was: ...?

A "hallo.exe" linked only to MSVCRT works in this situation. xst.exe as an
example however is dependant on a zillion of other dlls, where some need
gdi. And gdi initialisation in turn loads a display driver, and with DISPLAY
not set this will fails for x11drv...

I will mail another proposal for a fallback to ttydrv to wine-patches.
