I’ve got a Vision Panel Edition v7.5.5 running on Ubuntu 12.04 that I would like to have launch the Javaws client locally on start-up of the gateway.

Seems to work fine with a delayed start-up bash file. Also, system.util.execute() runs the bash file fine in the script playground with the Designer running locally. Haven’t had any luck getting much to happen using system.util.execute() in a gateway start-up or timer script, however. I presume this has to do with the gateway running in the background, but not sure how to get past that.

Thanks for any advice.
