Keywords: xterm Message-ID: <3609@ginosko.samsung.com> Date: 19 Sep 89 18:06:34 GMT Organization: Samsung Software America, Inc. Lines: 15 I'm a new X user and am doing some experimenting with xterm. I would like to be able to fork/exec an xterm that runs a program in that window, and, I want to force the xterm's stdin to be from a pipe descriptor that I dup2'ed before I exec. The problem is that xterm does a getty() and wipes out my stdin plumbing. How do I accomplish what I want to do?
