XON(1) AIX XON(1) NAME xon - start an X program on a remote machine SYNOPSIS xxxxoooonnnn remote-host [-access] [-debug] [-name window-name] [- nols] [-screen screen-no] [-user user-name] [command ...] DESCRIPTION _X_o_n runs the specified command (default xterm -ls) on the remote machine using rsh. Xon passes the DISPLAY, XAUTHOR- ITY and XUSERFILESEARCHPATH environment variables to the remote command. When no command is specified, xon runs 'xterm -ls'. It additionally specifies the application name to be 'xterm- _r_e_m_o_t_e-_h_o_s_t' and the window title to be '-fIremote-host'. Xon can only work when the remote host will allow you to use rsh, by having an entry in the .rhosts file permitting access. OPTIONS Note that the options follow the remote host name (as they do with rlogin). ----aaaacccccccceeeessssssss Runs xhost locally to add the remote host to the host access list in the X server. This won't work unless xhost is given permission to modify the access list. ----ddddeeeebbbbuuuugggg Normally, xon disconnects the remote process from stdin, stdout and stderr to eliminate the daemon processes which usually connect them across the net- work. Specifying the ----ddddeeeebbbbuuuugggg option leaves them con- nected so that error messages from the remote execution are sent back to the originating host. ----nnnnaaaammmmeeee wwwwiiiinnnnddddoooowwww----nnnnaaaammmmeeee This specifies a different application name and window title for the default command (xterm). ----nnnnoooollllssss Normally xon passes the -ls option to the remote xterm; this option suspends that behaviour. ----ssssccccrrrreeeeeeeennnn ssssccccrrrreeeeeeeennnn----nnnnoooo This changes the screen number of the DISPLAY variable passed to the remote command. ----uuuusssseeeerrrr uuuusssseeeerrrr----nnnnaaaammmmeeee By default, xon simply uses rsh to connect to the Rev. Release 5 Page 1 XON(1) AIX XON(1) remote machine using the same user name as on the local machine. This option cause xon to specify an alterna- tive user name. This will not work unless you have authorization to access the remote account via rsh by placing an appropriate entry in the remote users .rhosts file. BUGS Xon can get easily confused when the remote-host, user-name or various environment variable values contain white space. Xon has no way to send the appropriate X authorization information to the remote host. Rev. Release 5 Page 2
