- _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.
-

- Note that the options follow the remote host name (as they
- do with rlogin).
-
-
- --aacccceessss
- 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.
-
- --ddeebbuugg 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 --ddeebbuugg option leaves them
- connected so that error messages from the remote
- execution are sent back to the originating host.
-
- --nnaammee wwiinnddooww--nnaammee
- This specifies a different application name and
- window title for the default command (xterm).
-
- --nnoollss Normally xon passes the -ls option to the remote
- xterm; this option suspends that behaviour.
-
- --ssccrreeeenn ssccrreeeenn--nnoo
- This changes the screen number of the DISPLAY vari-
- able passed to the remote command.
-
- --uusseerr uusseerr--nnaammee
- By default, xon simply uses rsh/remsh/rcmd to con-
- nect 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.
-
- BBUUGGSS
- 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.
