I'm regularly wanting to transport some text from a vt to an xterm window so I wrote a little function :
toX () { echo "$*" >/dev/pts/1 } only to find that when xwindows/icewm starts up it doesn't always open windows in the same order. In .xsession I open 5 windows when I launch X, one plain, one with mc in it, one with 'tail -f /var/log/messages', xclock and Firefox. From 'ps -auwx' I can tell which pid is associated with the window I want but don't see how that will help. Is there a way from the CL to detect which pts is the plain xterm window or to cause X to open the windows in a specified order? Thanks, Mike -- Satisfied user of Linux since 1997.
