Thank you for your help!
some additional questions:
1) is there any way to give the root password once? i tried this:
#!/bin/sh
su root -c "\
xterm -geometry 80x25 -title 'App 1' -e 'app1' &
xterm -geometry 80x25 -title 'App 2' -e 'app2'\
"
but i get this:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s
2)

i don't think i need something so complex. Is there any way to
instruct xterm not to close after the execution of the program?
So basically the idea is open 4 terminals, execute a specific command
inside them but if the command finishes or stops, the terminal stays
{with a new prompt}.
