Default Strange Eterm-problem

Good morning,

I recently added some ssh-logins as menu-items to the fluxbox menu:

[submenu] (SSH Sessions)
[exec] (Vader) {Eterm -n "SSH Vader" -e /usr/bin/ssh root@vader.tvwerk.de}
[exec] (Medusa 1) {Eterm -n "SSH Medusa 1" -e /usr/bin/ssh root@192.168.17.6}
[exec] (Medusa 2) {Eterm -n "SSH Medusa 2" -e /usr/bin/ssh root@192.168.17.7}
[exec] (Proxy1) {Eterm -n "SSH Proxy 1" -e /usr/bin/ssh root@10.10.10.2}
[exec] (Proxy2) {Eterm -n "SSH Proxy 2" -e /usr/bin/ssh root@10.10.10.3}
[exec] (R2D2) {Eterm -n "SSH R2D2" -e /usr/bin/ssh root@r2d2.tvwerk.de}
[exec] (Keto) {Eterm -n "SSH Keto" -e /usr/bin/ssh root@keto.tvwerk.de}
[end]


Now the strange thing: When I click the first entry "SSH Vader", it works just fine. I try the second one and the Eterm window comes up and immediately closes? I tried with some other lines and it seems some work and some not, just like the medusa lines, first doesn't, seconds works?

I replaced Eterm with xterm and all of the lines do work, strange eh?

What might that be.....

Try running these commands from a regular term (like xterm, aterm... something you have 100% working) and see if there are any errors after the ssh process exit.

xterm is command-line compatible and the above options seem to work fine in my fluxbox menu, consider escaping the operand of -e as well, -e "/usr/bin/ssh root@vader.tvwerk.de" for instance.

If that doesn't work, try replacing the double quotes with single quotes...

Well all of your suggestions might be a good attempt.

But it still doesn't explain, why

[exec] (Medusa 1) {Eterm -n "SSH Medusa 1" -e /usr/bin/ssh root@192.168.17.6}

works like a charme, while

[exec] (Medusa 2) {Eterm -n "SSH Medusa 2" -e /usr/bin/ssh root@192.168.17.7}

boldly goes, where no man has gone before?

Can't explain it, works here perfectly... perhaps there is some unprintable in the file that's causing problems.

PatrickBaer, where are you from? Does your language uses some strange encoding? Are you switching keyboard layouts a bit?
I'm asking becouse it is the DUMBEST mistake ever happened to me - change a lating 'a' with a cyrillic 'а'. Do you see the difference? There is no difference in graphical presentation, but for the PC they are completely different characters. And thus 'startx' is a valid cmd, but 'stаrtx' (cyr 'a') is a 'command not found'.
Just rewrite these entries that are bothering you.
