This problem is when starting up a new window with an ssh session
(which I do automatically when my Solaris box starts up X).  The lines
in the sessionetc file are like:-

rxvt -e ssh -l chris -x halkidiki.areti.com &

This is fine as long as it works but if the ssh fails for any reason
the rxvt window disappears again and I lose any diagnostics.  As the
windows are started automatically I may well be on a different screen
when they disappear.  It would be much nicer if I could tell rxvt not
to exit when the ssh does.  As I said above a way to execute a command
in a shell (as in 'ksh -c <command>' which leaves the shell running
afterwards would be ideal.
