need help regarding xterm

[amitsept]

Hi

I want to spawn a shell script by using -e option of the xterm.

This shell script has an infinite loop. when i stop this script on the xterm using control + C. The xterm gets killed in additon to script being closed.

I want the xterm to hold and the command prompt is available.

Thanks in advance

xterm(1): terminal emulator for X - Linux man page

-hold

Turn on the hold resource, i.e., xterm will not immediately destroy its window when the shell command completes. It will wait until you use the window manager to destroy/kill the window, or if you use the menu entries that send a signal, e.g., HUP or KILL.

I have tried this option and its working but my requirement is different.

when i use the window manager to destroy/kill the shell script. I want the shell script to kill and not the xterm.

Thanks in advance
