Hi All,

Recently I have started messing around with Eterm and borderless
transparent windows. I would now like to write a script that will start
up Eterm when my profile logs in and also fire up BitchX in the newly
created terminal (and a tail -f of some of my /var/log files as well
would be cool, like a root-tail effect). So I am not sure how i do this
- I was figuring it would be a small script i could place in one of
gnomes launchers.

Here are the two actions:

Eterm -O --buttonbar no --scrollbar no -x -f 2

./BitchX

I guess i need to pipe BitchX through the Eterm somehow. I put something
in my .bashrc which only crashed gnome :(

I am gonna start reading up more on shell scripting - figure its time i
learnt more.

Cheers,

Luke
