I want to start an xterm on my local machine using an expect script. It works fine when I start X in 'normal' mode (not query or broadcast) but when I start X in query mode I am unable to start an xterm using either the -c argument to expect on the command line, or via a script, even though I am still able to launch an xterm from the expect shell prompt.
To summarize: 1. expect1.1>spawn xterm /* works -- opens an xterm */ 2. $ expect -c 'spawn xterm' /* no xterm */ 3. script file: #!/usr/bin/expect -- #begin spawn xterm #end /* no xterm */ Methods 2 and 3 do work if I change 'xterm' to 'xeyes', so whatever the problem is it doesn't affect all applications. I am starting X in both cases with these flags: -ac -kb -multiwindow -clipboard but simply adding -query and the IP of the machine I connect to every day in the query mode scenario. Thanks for any ideas about what I might not understand about this scenario or where the 'bug' is, if there is one. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
