- I believe that the OW 2.0 doc indicated that one should use setsid before
- invoking cmdtool or shelltool from the menus - the problem listed was that
- PGRP error mentioned above.

- Try something like:
-
-
- rsh machine /usr/etc/setsid /usr/openwin/bin/shelltool
-
- or perhaps
-
- "Cmdtool..." exec /usr/etc/setsid cmdtool
-
- in your menu and see if the problem doesn't go away.
