SSH and TTY

[EC]

Hi all,

I have an X11 application running on Linux 8. I am trying to run
that application from my SCO machine using ssh. My command looks like
this:
/usr/local/ssh2/bin/ssh2 username@hostname /usr/local/bin/app

This line works fine if I run it from a command prompt. However, I
am trying to set up a function key to invoke the application. This is
what I have on my .mwmrc

Keys DefaultKeyBindings
{
:
:

<Key>F9 root|icon|window f.exec "/usr/local/bin/app"

:
}

When I press F9, nothing happens. Does it need a shell to run the
X11 application? I tried allocate tty by using the -t switch but still
doesn't work. Any idea?

Thanks

EC

Sorry, my mistake.... the line should be
<Key>F9 root|icon|window f.exec "/usr/local/ssh2/bin/ssh2 \
username@hostname /usr/local/bin/app"


Thanks.
