xterm does not work with .kshrc

[Ron Kunzi]

Customer has a J5600 with HP-UX 11.0. When they login to this system they are not able to open an xterm window automatically. Its within the .kshrc to do so, but it works fine manually. Dtterm and hacterm work fine automatically. What is going on? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hi,
Do the customer run CDE on this workstation and, if he does, what do you mean with running "automatically".

I thought xterm worked with the parameters in the .dtprofile ... files.

Maybe the TERM setting is wrong there. Maybe my brain setting is wrong too. I don't know.

Hi Ron,

are you actually logging in using something like TELNET/RLOGIN/SSH or graphically, like CDE?
Only in the latter case the neccessary environment variable $DISPLAY is set at all!
If you want X-Windows to be used from within a non-X-Windows session, you'll have to set $DISPLAY yourself, only then start X-Windows clients (like "xterm")...

FWIW,
Wodisch
