    No my code still is not working? ProcessStartInfo ps = new ProcessStartInfo(); ps.CreateNoWindow = true; ps.UseShellExecute = false; ps.RedirectStandardError = true; ps.FileName = "cmd.exe"; ps.Arguments = (@"/C" + "\"\"C:\\Program Files\\ThinTV\\PLINK.EXE\"" + " " + "appliance@%ThinConnectedFrom%" + " " + "-pw appliance" + " " + "\"killall -q vlc; export DISPLAY=:0.0; vlc --halfscreen --key-vol-up 100 rtsp://stfamtv0001/streama\"\""); System.Diagnostics.Process proc = Process.Start(ps); Not sure why when its put into a click event nothing happens.

    step through the code and make a dummy string hold your Ps.Arguments property and see if it is correct as you would type it into the command prompt.

      You need not use cmd.exe as it the command shell which would automatically get invoked. your executable file here is /C" + "\"\"C:\\Program Files\\ThinTV\\PLINK.EXE and your arguments is appliance@%ThinConnectedFrom%" + " " + "-pw appliance" + " " + "\"killall -q vlc; export DISPLAY=.0; vlc --halfscreen --key-vol-up 100 rtsp://stfamtv0001/streama\"\"" Please arrange it accordingly. Let me know if you still need some help.

        Ok I broke the code down and put it into a click event as follows ProcessStartInfo ps = new ProcessStartInfo(); ps.CreateNoWindow = true; ps.UseShellExecute = false; ps.RedirectStandardError = true; ps.FileName = "/C" + "\"\"C:\\Program Files\\RBS ThinTV\\PLINK.EXE\""; ps.Arguments = (@"appliance@%ThinConnectedFrom%" + " " + "-pw appliance" + " " + "\"killall -q vlc; export DISPLAY=:0.0; vlc --video-on-top --key-vol-up 100 rtsp://stfamtv0002/streama\"\""); System.Diagnostics.Process proc = Process.Start(ps); Not sure but now its getting a Win32Excepetion was unhanded error.... on this line System.Diagnostics.Process proc = Process.Start(ps); The command string is perfect.... its really weird.

          "/C" + "\"\"C:\\Program Files\\RBS ThinTV\\PLINK.EXE\""; -----here what is "/C" ? To check the validity of the code. USe ps.FileName = "Notepad"; ps.Arguments = "abc.txt" Check whether notepad opens or not and then check your code accordingly.

            Also do the following ps.FileName = "/C" + "\"\"C:\\Program Files\\RBS ThinTV\\PLINK.EXE\""; ps.Arguments = (@"appliance@%ThinConnectedFrom%" + " " + "-pw appliance" + " " + "\"killall -q vlc; export DISPLAY=.0; vlc --video-on-top --key-vol-up 100 rtsp://stfamtv0002/streama\"\""); System.Console.WriteLine(ps.FileName + ps.Arguments); and see the string displayed on the console is the right command string for cmd.exe or not?

              /C is a command line switch for cmd.exe. I believe the filename string should be "C:\\Program Files\\RBS ThinTV\\PLINK.EXE"

              The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

                  Ok I was able to verify that this test with notepad worked great so I think the error is in my arguments. The original argument that works in a command prompt is this. "/C" + ("\"\"C:\\Program Files\\RBS ThinTV\\PLINK.EXE\"" + " " + "appliance@%ThinConnectedFrom%" + " " + "-pw appliance" + " " + "\"killall -q vlc; export DISPLAY=:0.0; vlc --key-vol-up 100 rtsp://stfamtv0001/streama\"\""); So at this point since we are not using a command prompt the "/C" is nulled which leaves us with "\"\"C:\\Program Files\\RBS ThinTV\\PLINK.EXE\"" + " " + "appliance@%ThinConnectedFrom%" + " " + "-pw appliance" + " " + "\"killall -q vlc; export DISPLAY=:0.0; vlc --key-vol-up 100 rtsp://stfamtv0001/streama\"\""); Breaking this command string down we have ps.FileName = "C:\\Program Files\\RBS ThinTV\\PLINK.EXE"; and ps.Arguments = (@"appliance@%ThinConnectedFrom%" + " " + "-pw appliance" + " " + "\"killall -q vlc; export DISPLAY=:0.0; vlc --video-on-top --key-vol-up 100 rtsp://stfamtv0002/streama\"\""); The trick now i believe is int he syntax.
