- %xwsh -e rlogin <any-host>
-
- The above command works on this SGI (Indigo 4.0.5A). But,
-
- %xwsh -e /bin/ls
- %xwsh -e cd /usr/people/vamsee/junk
- %xwsh -e chdir /usr/people/vamsee/junk
- %xwsh -e cd /usr/people/vamsee/junk; vi <somefile>
-
- don't work. The man page says:
-
- " The -e option will pass all trailing arguments to xwsh , to be
- executed as a command line."
-
- What's the difference ? Why does rlogin work and the others don't?
- There must be a way to do this simple thing. Any help is appreciated.
