Question How to send from one XTERM to another
Hi who can I send a command from one Xterm to another Xterm?

Example: I have 2 xterm windows and the want to send ls from #1 to #2 and see the result in #2.

This is ofcourse not what I will do, will from a script start 2 xterm and then start 2 other scripts in these xterm windows.

Thanx in advance. /Kalle Smilie

ls -l >/dev/pts/4 or some thing similar

Thanx, works great!!

My next problem is to found out what kind of other stuff is sent to the window. When I open "dev/pts/45" as file in my PERL scipt and then write to it the output is seen in the window but the command is not executed. Anyone who nows what kind of carrige return or similar that shall be used.

There is a way to get around everything, system("ls -l >devs/pts/45") but it would be nice to know who to send the command directly to the xterm window and execute it.

Many Thanx Kalle
