Unix xterm

HI!!
im working on a project that is using the xterm command
with the argument -e [command], the problem is that
when the command in the xterm stop running the xterm windows closes and i cant see the status of the job that ended. is there a way to keep the xterm window open????

I don't know of anyway, off hand, to keep the xterm open. However, you could solve the problem of the status messages by redirecting them to a /tmp file or other file. That way, when the program terminates you don't lose your status and error messages.

Neo - thank you for the quick answer.
