    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.
