Hi Again :)<br>
<br>
May I ask if anyone know how to redirect output to any xterm from a window (another xterm)? Is there a command or redirection symbol specific for this? The man page for xterm does not help much with one paragraph of description.<br>
<br>
man xterm<br>
...<br>
-Sccn<br>
<br>
This option specifies the last two letters of the name of a pseudotermnal to use in slave mode, plus the number of the inherited file descriptor. The option is parsed ``%c%c%d''. This allows xterm to be used as an input and output channel for an existing program and is sometimes used in specialized applications.<br>
...<br>
<br>
Please drop me a note if you have already done this or know a way to do this with the xterm and exec command. Thank you.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Ben<br>
