But MhonArc will write to screen - you need to allow interaktive to desktop.
You can use the -quiet option to suppress progress output. Only
warnings and errors will be printed. For Win32 systems, you can use
the -stdout and -stderr options to have output go to files if using
a shell that does not support I/O redirection (which is generally
the case under Win32).
Desktop interaction is not required. Many run mhonarc via automated
processes like cron, and I believe some users automatically invoke
it under win32.
Dos the user ( normaly system accont ) have access to write ?
Mhonarc should not be executed under root, or other admin, account,
if possible. It opens you up to local security attacks (at least
under Unix-type systems). Use a regular user account to run mhonarc,
if possible.
BTW, Win32 users may want to look into Cygwin, <http://www.cygwin.com/>.
It provides a Unix-type environment with many of the standard Unix
like tools.
