Hi:
I have defined TERMCMD as rxvt. Hacking a bit, I've found.
I have defined exo TerminalEmulator as rxvt "%s"
When excuting
xfterm4 -e ssh xavier at mimachine.com
I receive:
rxvt: bad option "ssh xavier at mimachine.com"
which means that it ignores the "-e" flag.
Looking at the xfterm4 script, I've seen that a EXEC variable
is used. I've defined EXEC="-e ". This way I execute it again but
receive
rxvt: bad option "-e ssh xavier at mimachine.com"
Then, defining TerminalEmulator as rxvt %s (without the quotes)
I may execute it without problems.
But when I execute
xfterm4 -e ssh xavier at mimachine.com -T mimachine -n mimachine
rxvt dissapears just after introducing the password, because it
cannot execute "-T mimachine" in the remote machine.
If I execute
xfterm4 -T mimachine -e ssh xavier at mimachine.com
it just do not execute the ssh command.
Therefore, I guess there is some problem parsing the options I
use with the xfterm4 script. Also I need to use a (non-documented)
variable EXEC in order to execute it.
With the old script, everything works fine.
Some ideas?
cheers
Xavier
