Why -T? Why not simply
ssh -X user@some.host.com
get a shell, and run the apps, with a few more bytes bandwidth not consumed by the superfluous xterm.
The question was how to start remote X applications via ssh, and I used xterm merely as an example. Presumably the OP already knew about getting a shell and starting from there, but he had specifically asked about starting an X app directly. So in that case, the -T suppresses the terminal. Hope that explains what I forgot to explain last time. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
