Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Pass Multiple Commands and Open Multiple Xterms via PSS Post 302912089 by Corona688 on Tuesday 5th of August 2014 05:30:34 PM

Well of course it won't. It has to be like this:

Code:
... xterm -e command ...

...because if you don't put the commands into xterm, they're not going to be in xterm.

Try just pssh -i -h ectsrv -A -O StrictHostKeyChecking=no "export DISPLAY=IP address:0.0; xterm -e bash" to see if you can at least get a terminal prompt. If you can get a terminal prompt, try and build from there.

NAME
xtitle - set window title and icon name for an X11 terminal window SYNOPSIS
xtitle [ -tiq ] [ -- ] string ... | [ -V ] [ -h ] DESCRIPTION
Xtitle will set the window title and/or the icon name of the terminal window in which it is run to be its command line arguments. It does this by outputting the appropriate xterm(1) control sequence characters. Unless suppressed, xtitle will also report the settings it has made. OPTIONS
-- Interprets all following arguments as strings instead of options. -h, --help Prints a helpful usage message. -i, --icon Only set the icon name. Default sets both. -t, --title Only set the window title. Default sets both. -v, --verbose Quiet mode. Doesn't report the settings performed. -V, --version Only prints the program version. CAVEATS
Xtitle is known to work with xterm(1) and dtterm(1). The effect of the control sequences in other terminals is not known, though I wouldn't expect any problems. VERSION
