start a application minimized

English Programming/Scripting

hi

I have a script which looks like this:


#!/bin/bash
cd /home/user/app
./app

what can I do, that the program starts minimized?

IMHO the app should support X-toolkit-options (or support it own options) options you can call it with, that are translated internaly in the app to X-toolkit-parameters when calls X to create a windown. (Likewise when it uses another toolkit).

See for example in man xterm where it says so about the toolkit-options.

So, when available, it should be in the documentation of your app.
