Hi, I have `bash' as my standard login shell under sunos 4.1.1 and I am trying to use the X11 R5 script `xon' that allow to create an xterm on a remote machine using your local display. Has anybody noticed that on the sun the xon script keep the connection open until the remote xterm dies. The xon script does something like this: rsh remotehost "sh -c 'DISPLAY=currentdisplay:0.0 xterm -ls >/dev/null \ 2>&1 &'" This should run the remote xterm in the background at the remote host. If your login shell is bash then the rsh command hangs until the remote xterm dies. If your login shell is csh or your remote host is not running sunos (e.g. rs6000 running bash) then the xon command terminate immediatly without waiting for the remote xterm to die. Thanks, Minh Tran-Le. -------
