Xrsh

Jul 20, 2023

Launcher which starts an X program on a remote machine

This distribution contains two programs, xrsh and xrlogin.

Xrsh is designed to allow you to start an X client on a remote machine with the window displayed on the current server’s $DISPLAY. It has many options that give you the ability to propagate environment variables including DISPLAY to the remote system and works with various types of X server access control including xauth and xhost.

Xrlogin opens a local xterm window and runs rlogin or telnet to connect to a remote machine.
