xon - start an X program on a remote machine
SSSSYYYYNNNNOOOOPPPPSSSSIIIISSSS

nols] [-screen screen-no] [-user user-name] [command ...]

_X_o_n runs the specified command (default xterm -ls) on the
remote machine using rsh, remsh, or rcmd. Xon passes the
DISPLAY, XAUTHORITY and XUSERFILESEARCHPATH environment
variables to the remote command.
When no command is specified, xon runs 'xterm -ls'. It
additionally specifies the application name to be 'xterm-
_r_e_m_o_t_e-_h_o_s_t' and the window title to be '-fIremote-host'.
Xon can only work when the remote host will allow you to log
in without a password, by having an entry in the .rhosts
file permitting access.
OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
Note that the options follow the remote host name (as they
do with rlogin).
----aaaacccccccceeeessssssss
Runs xhost locally to add the remote host to the host
access list in the X server. This won't work unless
xhost is given permission to modify the access list.
----ddddeeeebbbbuuuugggg
Normally, xon disconnects the remote process from
stdin, stdout and stderr to eliminate the daemon
processes which usually connect them across the
network. Specifying the ----ddddeeeebbbbuuuugggg option leaves them
connected so that error messages from the remote
execution are sent back to the originating host.
----nnnnaaaammmmeeee wwwwiiiinnnnddddoooowwww----nnnnaaaammmmeeee
This specifies a different application name and window
title for the default command (xterm).
----nnnnoooollllssss
Normally xon passes the -ls option to the remote xterm;
this option suspends that behaviour.
----ssssccccrrrreeeeeeeennnn ssssccccrrrreeeeeeeennnn----nnnnoooo
This changes the screen number of the DISPLAY variable
passed to the remote command.

By default, xon simply uses rsh/remsh/rcmd to connect
to the remote machine using the same user name as on
the local machine. This option cause xon to specify an
alternative user name. This will not work unless you
have authorization to access the remote account, by
placing an appropriate entry in the remote users
.rhosts file.
BBBBUUUUGGGGSSSS
Xon can get easily confused when the remote-host, user-name
or various environment variable values contain white space.
Xon has no way to send the appropriate X authorization
information to the remote host.
