| Jul 29, 2022 at 19:24 | comment | added | LinuxNewby | Hey Barry, not sure what your context is with "This is unhelpful". I already emphasized that I am new to this genre/topic. I appreciate the -e option though, maybe that will lead me to the right place. | |

| Jul 29, 2022 at 19:14 | comment | added | Barry Carter | This is unhelpful: environment is a property of your shell, not of xterm. Look into xterm's -e option to run something other than the default bash command when you open a new xterm. You'll then need to figure out how to open a "clean" shell. Good luck! | |
