    This question is similar to: A basic Bash script (to start a GUI program) works partially in cron. If you believe it’s different, please edit the question, make it clear how it’s different and/or how the answers on that question are not helpful for your problem. Commented Oct 21, 2024 at 16:16
  • @tink I can see it terminates the node / npm processes as well as closing the terminal windows but does not open new terminal windows with the given command. Basically, open_terminal_and_run does not seem to work. Commented Oct 21, 2024 at 16:20

    Please edit your question and include the information from the comments. Especially the part where you describe what the actual error is since that isn't visible from the question at all. Make sure to explain why you need a terminal for this. If the issue is logging, you can redirect output. If you explain the situation we might be able to help, but not with the lack of detail in the question. Commented Oct 21, 2024 at 16:33

    @daydr3am3r - if this is an old application - what changed? And running it via RDP is a fixed requirement? Why? It would make so much more sense to run it under tmux or screen, and redirect its output to a file. Seeing output dash past in an RDP session is not exactly useful logging ...
