Or perhaps if your already in the all powerfull environment
you would only leave when the task isn't suited or
the expense in time/effort/bother of moving to the other
interface is less than staying put.
some command strings become buttons.
This button starts CDE desktop on my Sun, and places it windowed
onto my Windomaker/Linux desktop as if it was an application
("SunDT :2 root@Sparc", SHEXEC, "(Xnest :2 -display fubar:0
-nolock -bs -su &) && ssh1 -a -x -k -n -P -q -l root Sparc
'(/root/xnest-desktop 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null)'")),
One click, and its on my screen.
Or ..
("Netscape afu@Rx", EXEC, "ssh -a -x -k -n -P -q -l afu
Rx netscape -display fubar:0
file:///home/afu/.netscape/bookmarks.html"),
Runs netscape on host rx puts it on screen fubar
( host rx has no screen or keyboard attached for 5 years)
These examples show a multitude of things, but notice
how command line strings become pretty clickety
buttons on a popup menu.
