Open file from command line in linux

autodeskguest

Hi.

 

I'd like to get a list of what command line parameters

eagle can be run with on linux.

I'm looking for a way to open a (schematic) file from the

command line (so that i can create a .desktop file to

open eagle files).

 

Anybody? Thanks.

    package in AUR installs an eagle executable in both /usr/bin/eagle and

    /opt/eagle-5.7.0/bin/eagle. If i run

    /usr/bin/eagle file.sch

    it does the aforementioned weired behaviour, but if i run:

    /opt/eagle-5.7.0/bin/eagle file.sch

    it opens the schematic as it's supposed to.

    I guess it's some sort of packaging issue, so I'll post it in the AUR

    comments.

     

    Check exactly what /usr/bin/eagle is. On my Gentoo box with an official

    CadSoft CD install of 4.15 there are also two executable paths. However,

    /usr/bin/eagle is merely a symbolic link to /opt/eagle/bin/eagle. I

    don't have the box with v5 running right now to see if that's the same.
