Bug#794201: xterm -e writes a /var/log/wtmp entry
Package: xterm
Version: 318-2
Severity: normal
The xterm(1) man page says:
Finally, -ls is not completely ignored, because xterm -ls -e
does write a /var/log/wtmp entry (if configured to do so),
whereas xterm -e does not.
But a command like "xterm -e true", or even "xterm +ls -e true",
writes a /var/log/wtmp entry, as shown by "last -10".
