Question 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?

shownonascii(1)                                               General Commands Manual                                              shownonascii(1)

NAME

       shownonascii - View all or part of a mail message in a non-ASCII font

SYNOPSIS

       shownonascii  charset-font-name [-e command-to-execute] file-name(s)

DESCRIPTION

       The  shownonascii program allows data in non-ASCII character sets to be viewed under X11.    By default, it will open up an xterm using the
       font named in the first argument, running the "more" command to view all of the files named on the command line.

       If the -e switch is used, the rest of the command line will be taken as the command to tell xterm to run instead of more.

       If the MM_CHARSET environment variable is set and matches the character set named in the first argument, a new xterm  window  will  not  be
       opened.

       If  the  MM_AUXCHARSETS  environment  variable is set the character set named in the first argument is a subset of that string, a new xterm
       window will not be opened.
