Re: open remote terminal

Hi,

I would like to use python to start an terminal, e.g. xterm, and login on a
remote machine using rsh or ssh. This could be done using 'xterm -e ssh
machine', but after the login I would like to jump to a given directory.
Does anyone have an idea how to do this with python?

Regards!
Fabian

pexpect would be the usual solution, I believe, if you could get it to interact correctly with your virtual terminal.
