Commands to multiple xterms
Hi, I need some help with sending commands to multiple xterms. What I do is ssh -Y to a remote box, and then open up 4 shells (csh) and on each one I run a different program in sequence -- one of them has 2, the first of which goes into the background and after you hit "enter" or "return" you get the prompt back, then you go to a different shell to run the next program in the sequence, then come back and start the second program in that one.

I've made a script to open the shells I need after I'm ssh'ed into the remote box (basically "xterm -title myname &" 4 times), but what I'd like to do here is not just open the windows, but start the programs in each one instead of having to manually go in and start each one. The remote box is red hat, and other users will access it from red hat, although I am accessing it from mac (tiger). Programs don't take any arguments. Not sure how I can do this, so any advice would be appreciated.

ssh-copy-id

SSH-COPY-ID(1)						      General Commands Manual						    SSH-COPY-ID(1)

NAME

       ssh-copy-id - install your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys

SYNOPSIS

       ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine

DESCRIPTION

       ssh-copy-id  is	a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine and append the indicated identity file to that machine's ~/.ssh/autho-
       rized_keys file.

       If the -i option is given then the identity file (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in  your
       ssh-agent.  Otherwise, if this:

	     ssh-add -L

       provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.

       If  the -i option is used, or the ssh-add produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity file.  Once it has one or more fin-
       gerprints (by whatever means) it uses ssh to append them to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory,
       if necessary.)

NOTES

       This program does not modify the permissions of any pre-existing files or directories. Therefore, if the remote sshd has StrictModes set in
       its configuration, then the user's home, ~/.ssh folder, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file may need to have group writability  disabled  manu-
       ally, e.g. via

	     chmod go-w ~ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

       on the remote machine.
