Celestia --url script.cel doesn't work under Linux

Post #1by amoroso » 26.03.2005, 10:12

When I start Celestia and run a script from the shell prompt with the command:

Code: Select all

celestia --url myscript.cel


the program starts, but the script doesn't run. And if I add the --once option, a new instance of Celestia is started.

I use Celestia 1.3.2 configured with

Code: Select all

--prefix=/usr/local/celestia --with-gtk --with-lua=/usr/local/lua
under Slackware Linux 10.0. Do I need any specific configuration options or command line arguments?

I read a posting to Celestia Users that seemed to imply that the --url option works only on Windows. Is this correct? If not, how do I run a script from the command line?
