Hi All,

Yipee! Figured it out! It is the "-t" option. From
the man page:

-t Force pseudo-tty allocation

And it exits all on its own (Good Dog!).
New run line:
$ ssh -l todd -t -X 192.168.255.185 /usr/bin/firefox --no-remote

Thank to everyone for all the help -- it made me read the man page.
Special thanks to Dave who got me on the track of escape characters
and pseudo terminals.

Didn't Ctrl-Z work?

ssh -f


But why not leave that terminal leave alone, which you can use at any
time to start other X-clients or do other things on that machines?
Virtual terminals are cheap!

The -f flag, perhaps.

ssh -f -X 192.168.255.185 /usr/bin/firefox -no-remote

Hi Chris,

The "-t" flag did exactly what I wanted. Thank you
for the suggestion!

Many thanks,

Did not try it. I also did not want to put it into the back
ground. Jst wanted it to exit.

Hi Lee,

The "-t" flag did exactly what I wanted. What
I was after was an icon on my program launcher
that started the program automatically and exited
when the program exited. That way the user would be
none the wiser.

And, oh boy does it run slick!

Thank you for the suggestion.

Many thanks,
-T
