Windows has a command "start" which you can use e.g. via System.Process.proc.
Thank you, Magnus - this is exactly what I was looking for. (By the way, someone should implement something like this for GNOME and KDE, too ;-) )
Well, there is `xdg-open` command, which is not as well-known as it should be. OS X calls the equivalent command "open". I'm not sure what xdg-open does with executable files (Does it really make sense, in a unixy context, to just execute them?)
In Gnome there's also 'gnome-open'. % xdg-open /usr/bin/gedit Error showing url: No application is registered as handling this file Same behaviour for gnome-open. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
