I have an X server and want to, upon startup of the server, open an xconsole on the local machine and on another machine in the local network, both of which display on the X server. Now the first xconsole works properly, but the second still does not, because I'm not opening the console on any tty, but just with the command: rsh notabene '/usr/X11R6/bin/xconsole -verbose -display edge:0.0' Is there a way to make this work?
