Hi David,

>: I have tried to get the xterm to automatically run at startx time by:

>: without success in my .xinitrc session. File permissions etc are OK.

If I execute within a xterm the "telnet localhost UPSstats ...etc" then the
correct output is displayed. If I do a "xterm -geo... -e telent local...etc"
then I get "xterm: fatal IO error 2 (Broken Pipe) or KillClient on Xserver 0:0"
It appears as though the "xterm -e" directive does not work correctly or 
because of the way I have it set up. This happens also whilst within fvwm2
xterm so the problem is confined to how I do the "xterm -e".

Running it automatically via .xinitrc would be the next step once I was
able to get it to work correctly from within a xterm.

My mistake, make that fvwm2 not fvwm. Same question though.

Thanks Grahame
