Basic Linux Shell Command

I'm working with telnet under windows and Xming. I connect to a network computer and I open Xterm. With Xterm I want to be able to open more than one windows like firefox, nedit etc.

Example : When a open firefox on the xterm, I type "firefox", after that, I cannot make an other command until I close firefox.

I need to open with shell command nedit and firefox etc.

I'm looking also for a file browser like explorer in windows that I can call in the linux shell.

Thank you

hi meccos,

thats because you did not push the process in the background :slight_smile:

try type # firefox & ---> with the trailing '&'

HTH.
