Running a script in xterm instead of terminal

[jarednichols]

Hi-

Does anyone know how I might be able to run a script (single command really) in xterm (X11 environment) instead of Terminal? I know I can fire off 'xterm' in Terminal but I can't seem to pipe anything to it or such.

Thanks

A simple full path should do it for your shebang.

#!/path/to/xterm

Sorry don't have it installed on any machines currently, but if you use the path to xterm in your shebang the whole script should use that shell instead.

Ah fantastic. How the hell did I not think of that. I should have remembered just what shebang is for...

Thanks
