ok i got that one: ssh -t server mutt
Here is an even harder one...suppose you wanted SOME things to be run in
background in parallel and other things to wait on other things....
e.g. I can't start certain things before the VPN is set up..
#!/bin/sh
xterm -e su root "vpnc --udp qualcomm" ; \
"xterm -e ssh -t [EMAIL PROTECTED] mutt &" ; \
"xterm -e changetitle LAB_TUNNEL ; \
ssh -L $PORT:$LAB_PC:5900 $PROXY_PC &" ;
"gaim &" ;
sleep 4 &
xterm -e ssh -t server mutt &
Everything in the 1st xterm command is meant to be run after i set up vpn with
the vpnc app. It doesn't work. I think all those ampersands are confusing
it.
