xterm scrollbar issue
I have a xterm window opening from my Java code. This xterm is opened from the code in this manner:
// to run shell command in a xterm window
public synchronized void rshd(String title, String commd) {
String xt = "xterm -sb -T ";
String xtm = xt + title + " -e " + commd;
Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
System.out.println("The command is: " + xtm);
try {
run.exec(xtm);
}
catch(java.io.IOException e) {}
}
The problem I face is that when the command passed 'commd' involves remote login as in 'rsh abc.xyx.com -l user' , I do not get a scrollbar on the xterm if the user id 'user' is valid on the server 'abc.xyz.com'. If its an invalid login, I can see a scrollbar in the resulting xterm.
Can someone please help me with this issue?

rxtelnet
RXTELNET(1) BSD General Commands Manual RXTELNET(1)
NAME
rxtelnet -- start a telnet and forward X-connections.
SYNOPSIS
rxtelnet [-l username] [-k] [-t telnet_args] [-x xterm_args] [-K kx_args] [-w term_emulator] [-b telnet_program] [-n] [-v] host [port]
DESCRIPTION
The rxtelnet program starts an xterm window with a telnet to host host. From this window you will also be able to run X clients that will be
able to connect securely to your X server. If port is given, that port will be used instead of the default.
If setting up the X forwarding failes, rxtelnet will still telnet in to the remote host, but without X forwarding.
The supported options are:
-l Log in on the remote host as user username.
-k Disables keep-alives.
-t Send telnet_args as arguments to telnet.
-x Send xterm_args as arguments to xterm.
-X Send kx_args as arguments to kx.
-w Use term_emulator instead of xterm.
-b Use telnet_program instead of telnet.
-n Do not start any terminal emulator.
-v Be verbose.
EXAMPLE
To login from host foo (where your display is) to host bar, you might do the following.
1. On foo: rxtelnet bar
2. You will get a new window with a telnet to bar. In this window you will be able to start X clients.
