Very Computer

I'm attempting to create a shell script that performs a rlogin and continues
the rest of the script on the other terminal.  I'd also like to create a
script that opens an xterm and runs the rest of the script from there on the
same terminal.  Any suggestions or is this even possible.

Thanks!!!

feed the stuff you want done remotely to a remote shell, e.g.,

  #!/bin/sh
  rsh host sh -s <<EOS
  command ...
  command ...
  command ...
  exit
  EOS

also, you can use a different scripting language, e.g., expect, e.g.,

  #!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
  spawn rlogin host
  send "command ...\r"
  send "command ...\r"
  send "command ...\r"
  send "exit\r"
  expect eof

feed the stuff you want done by the xterm into a temporary file and tell
xterm to execute that file, e.g.,

  #!/bin/sh
  f=${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/foo$$
  trap 'rm -f $f' 0
  cat << EOS > $f
  command ...
  command ...
  command ...
  exit
  EOS
  xterm -e sh $f

if the xterm is to run on a remote host then you'll have to combine these
methods.
