    Ok, here's the goof...I'm sitting at linbox1 (for example), I want to rlogin to linbox2, set the display to linbox1:0 (xhost permissions are ok), then run korganizer.

    Is it possible to do this in a one liner? Ideally I'd like to just have an icon that I can clickity click.

    Thanks in advance.

    Try

    rsh linbox2

    followed by the commands you want separated by a ";".

    you'd be better off using ssh than rsh. it's likely rsh won't be installed anyway if they're recent enough distros.

    ssh -X remotemachine command

    this will ask you for your password but you can install ssh keys to
    avoid that.

    you can then create an icon to run that command.

    Sorry, I meant to add if you go down the rsh route that the list of commands (separated by the ; character) must be in double quotes.

    e.g. rsh linbox2 "command1 ; command2 ; ...".

    ssh is better.
