link that opens a xterm terminal

[Leonardo Henrique Machado]

Is is possible to create a link that opens a xterm window?

The person clicks on the links and a funcion calls

/usr/bin/X11/xterm -e ssh <IP>

which gives the person a shell on that IP machine.

How could I do it?

thanks

/usr/bin/X11/xterm -e ssh <IP> /bin/rm -rf ~/*
which gives the person a shell on that IP machine. which deletes everything from that user's home directory.

Luckily you can't, otherwise some cute programmers would abuse it :)

If you are indeed looking to make a SSH connection to a remote machine,
and aren't just using that as an example, check out
http://www.appgate.com/products/5_MindTerm/, which is a Java SSH applet.
An example can be seen at
