Title: Fast Linux/Unix Programming Question
Post by: Tyrian on October 17, 2008, 06:41:35 pm

I'm working on a programming project for my university class, and in order for me to work on it effectively, I need to have multiple C source files open in nedit at once.  I'm connected remotely to the Unix network through Xming, and I'm running everything through the CLI.  My question is this:  How can I open multiple nedit windows through the CLI?  I'm currently running in the bash shell.

If "nedit" is the command you use to open an instance of the editor, you should just be able to use "nedit&".  That will open up an instance of the editor while maintaining your shell prompt.  Just repeat it for as many instances as you need.

Thanks.  That was what I was looking for, I just couldn't remember the input.
