Hello,
When starting photon applications from a script file is it possible
to define in witch console context they will be started?
I want to do something like:
switch to console 1
pterm -tCON1 &
switch to console 2
pterm -tCON2 &
Is there a command line option that can be given to
photon applications that defines in which console
they are opened?
Is there a command/utility for switching the active
console - that acts like Ctrl-Alt-x for example.
Thanks

Anything built in PhAB has (by default) -x and -y options that
will position you in absolute Photon coordinates. Where console
1,2,etc. are in that space obviously depends on the screen
resolution you are using.

I do this all the time.
If your screen is 800x600 for instance and you want something running on
console #6 run it as:
myprog -x1600 -y600
In QNX 4 you could also use percentages like
myprog -x200% -y100%
that way you don’t need to know or care what your screen resolution is.
