.... I usually have long login sessions (weeks, maybe months), 99% of
which are spent in rxvt shells, either on this machine or logged into
other boxen on my LAN. I login as regular user. On 1 desktop, I open an
rxvt session, su to root, then (try to) duplicate that shell using the
following CLI commands:
[root@kabini1, /etc, 3:45:35pm] 325 % ( rxvt -sl 5000 -fn
-*-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-17-*-100-100-*-100-*-* & )
rxvt: No match.
[root@kabini1, /etc, 3:45:42pm] 326 % which rxvt
/usr/local/bin/rxvt
[root@kabini1, /etc, 3:45:49pm] 327 % ( /usr/local/bin/rxvt -sl 5000 -fn
-*-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-17-*-100-100-*-100-*-* & )
/usr/local/bin/rxvt: No match.
[root@kabini1, /etc, 3:53:56pm] 328 %
also tried:
[root@kabini1, /etc, 3:54:49pm] 329 % ( rxvt & )
[root@kabini1, /etc, 3:55:21pm] 330 % No protocol specified
rxvt: can't open display :0
[root@kabini1, /etc, 3:55:23pm] 330 %
This worked AOK under FC14, apropos of little, but doesn't work under
FBSD 9.3 .... Any clues as to why not ? It save me a bunch of clicking
the rxvt icon, clicking the maximize button on the new window, & su-ing
to root (3 steps instead of 1, grrrrr ....) .... obviously not show
stopping, but irritating .... Same problem as regular user .... Any
clues appreciated ....
