Greetings, In my .profile I have the following:
PS1="\...@\h \w \$ " export PS1 On the console, I see: u...@host "pwd" $ I was looking at the man page for xterm(1), and I saw that by invoking "xterm -ls", the terminal should read .profile, and set the prompt. In an xterm, I was able to run "xterm -ls" and have just this exact thing happen. Then I installed scrotwm, and went into /etc/scrotwm.conf and set the "spawn_term" to "xterm -ls", thinking this would do the same, but it does not. What am I doing wrong? I am using the default shell. Does scrotwm do something special to call "xterm"? Regards, Bryan
