- In a previous article, the question was asked why the command rexed -l
- username -p password host path/xterm -display localdisplay ... causes
- deskpic to stop functioning normally. The anser to this question,
- like many other problems with deskpic, is that rexec uses all free
- cycles of the processor, and as it is a higher priority than deskpic,
- takes all of its cycles as well. Thus, by executing the above command
- (note, not with a start in front of it) and once the Xterm has
- started, hit a CTRL-C to kill the rexec process. Because of the way
- Xterm was written (at least my version), it will continue to run,
- although the cycle soaking of rexec will not longer be in effect.
