Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers customizing xterm windows Post 1141 by Neo on Saturday 10th of February 2001 03:55:11 PM

You could force the xterm to start in a particular directory by doing something like:

Quote:

cd /etc; xterm;

OR

cd /usr/local/adm; xterm;
However, it does seem OK that you could do this:


Quote:
xterm -e program [ arguments ... ]

This option specifies the program (and its command line arguments) to be run in the xterm window. It also sets the window title and icon name to be the basename of the program being executed if neither -T nor -n are given on the command line. This must be the last option on the command line.
Note: The -n switch sets the icon name but does not execute a shell command:

Quote:
-n string

This option specifies the icon name for xterm's windows. It is shorthand for specifying ``*iconName'' resource. Note that this is not the same as the toolkit option -name (see below). The default icon name is the application name.
