Folks,
I need some creative advice here. I've decided to set up a second e-mail
address for list subscriptions, because a couple of times now I've skipped
over time-sensitive messages that were buried in a sea of messages on
trilug, debian, R, or postgresql. The clists account is delivered locally
to my office machine, and I read it using pine, logged in as a new user
(clists).
The problem is this: I'm lazy. I'd like to have a menu option, when logged
in as aperrin, to open a window for clists' mail. I'm perfectly happy to
type the password, but would prefer not to have to open an xterm, ssh or
su, and then type pine manually.
The following just bombs quietly:
rxvt -name clists -title clists -bg lightblue -fg black -e ssh \
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pine
As does:
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -e rxvt -bg lightblue -fg black -name \
clists -title clists -e pine
Can anyone suggest a one-line (e.g., can be put into fvwm2's
main-menu-pre-hook file) command that will successfully launch another
user's pine? If a password authentication is necessary, it should be able
to ask for it.
I *might* end up writing a perl script to do it, but that seems like
overkill.
Thanks-
Andy Perrin
