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.
