- Earlier this week I started using rexec and noticed that deskpic was
- not working. Jon Hacker (hacker@cco.caltech.edu) suggested that the
- problem could be caused by too little CPU time for deskpic. I fired up
- pulse, and it hit the ceiling as soon as I said rexec! That prevented
- deskpic from operating properly.
- But there really is no reason why rexec should do that, because once
- it has started xterm, it doesn't do anything useful. In fact, I discovered
- that I could even kill it, and xterm would live on happily. In the end
- I came up with the following command that closes the output. This
- convinces rexec that it can exit and solves my problem.
- rexec -l login -p password host -n sh -c '"/usr/bin/X11/xterm -sb
- -sl 250 -ls -display localhost:0 -j 1>&- 2>&- &"'
