.TH XON 1 __xorgversion__
|
||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
xon \- start an X program on a remote machine
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.B xon
|
||
|
|
remote-host [-access] [-debug] [-name window-name] [-nols] [-screen screen-no]
|
||
|
|
[-user user-name] [command ...]
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.I Xon
|
||
|
|
runs the specified command (default xterm -ls) on the remote machine using
|
||
|
|
rsh, remsh, or rcmd. Xon passes the DISPLAY, XAUTHORITY and
|
||
|
|
XUSERFILESEARCHPATH environment variables to the remote command.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
When no command is specified, xon runs 'xterm -ls'. It additionally
|
||
|
|
specifies the application name to be 'xterm-\fIremote-host\fP' and the
|
||
|
|
window title to be '-fIremote-host\fP'.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Xon can only work when the remote host will allow you to log in without a
|
||
|
|
password, by having an entry in the .rhosts file permitting access.
|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Note that the options follow the remote host name (as they do with rlogin).
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
.IP "\fB-access\fP"
|
||
|
|
Runs xhost locally to add the remote host to the host access list in the X
|
||
|
|
server. This won't work unless xhost is given permission to modify the
|
||
|
|
access list.
|
||
|
|
.IP "\fB-debug\fP"
|
||
|
|
Normally, xon disconnects the remote process from stdin, stdout and stderr
|
||
|
|
to eliminate the daemon processes which usually connect them across the
|
||
|
|
network. Specifying the \fB-debug\fP option leaves them connected so that
|
||
|
|
error messages from the remote execution are sent back to the originating
|
||
|
|
host.
|
||
|
|
.IP "\fB-name window-name\fP"
|
||
|
|
This specifies a different application name and window title for the default
|
||
|
|
command (xterm).
|
||
|
|
.IP "\fB-nols\fP"
|
||
|
|
Normally xon passes the -ls option to the remote xterm; this option
|
||
|
|
suspends that behaviour.
|
||
|
|
.IP "\fB-screen screen-no\fP"
|
||
|
|
This changes the screen number of the DISPLAY variable passed to the remote
|
||
|
|
command.
|
||
|
|
.IP "\fB-user user-name\fP"
|
||
|
|
By default, xon simply uses rsh/remsh/rcmd to connect to the remote machine
|
||
|
|
using the
|
||
|
|
same user name as on the local machine. This option cause xon to specify an
|
||
|
|
alternative user name. This will not work unless you have authorization to
|
||
|
|
access the remote account, by placing an appropriate entry in the
|
||
|
|
remote users .rhosts file.
|
||
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
||
|
|
Xon can get easily confused when the remote-host, user-name or various
|
||
|
|
environment variable values contain white space.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Xon has no way to send the appropriate X authorization information to the
|
||
|
|
remote host.
