foreign_xterm starts xterm(1x) on given host, provided that your rhosts(5) file allows you access to it using rsh(1). Before attempting to start xterm, it uses xauth(1) to transfer your authentication info for current display. Thus it allows to start programs on machines, which don’t share Xauthority file with your local machine. When invoked as foreign_xapp doesn’t attempt to start remote xterm, just executes given command, setting DISPLAY environment variable to your display Command is started in the background. |
