I have written a curse program (actually a bookmark manager for uzbl :-).
Now I want to start it from another GUI program, a launcher etc... But since it is interactive merely making it executable and calling it doesn't work (it would be executed in a SHELL in the background).
I have read the xterm man page to no avail and google was of no help.
Is there a way to have an xterm pop up with my program running in it that will also close when the program terminates??
Cheers

This works for me. Closes on exit and all.
-e program [ arguments ... ]
This option specifies the program (and its command line arguments) to be run in the xterm window. It also sets the window title and icon name to be the basename of
the program being executed if neither -T nor -n are given on the command line. This must be the last option on the command line.

thanks a lot. There are so many options to xterm I must have overlooked it.
