I want to know under what condition(s) the following error will be printed? I have a script that starts diff processes on diff xterms.
The following error was encountered after a statement similar to
"xterm -e tail -f file"

Error thrown : "xterm: Error 1, errno 13: Permission denied ".
Also is there any place where I can look for
the decsriptions of "xterm : Error %d"

Thanks.
