Hi All,

I have a UPS monitor program that I can run from a X terminal screen by
"telent localhost UPSstats" which then every second or so puts the
UPS status line " Mains 240VAC, Battery 99% etc...".

What I wish to do is have a xterm run at a given position on my 
virtual X screen that runs the telnet session automatically at startup
and in Sticky mode.

I have tried to get the xterm to automatically run at startx time by:
"xterm -geometry 69x2+581+711 -e telnet localhost UPSstats -T UPSstats &"
without success in my .xinitrc session. File permissions etc are OK.
And I preferr the fvwm, but this should not make any difference I would
have thought.

Also I can't see (in the man pages) how to let the Xserver know I want
to run this window as Sticky.

Could anyone help me ? 

Thanks Grahame.
