Xrcmd Command Line Options
Xstart provides command line option, which enables advanced users to integrate the program with their applications. In reality, Xstart only provides a user interface for session creation and management. When a user opens a session using Xstart, it executes the Xrcmd.exe command and forwards the session information. Therefore, for direct connections, Xrcmd.exe must be used, not Xstart. Xrcmd is found in the folder where Xmanager is installed.

Xrcmd –protocol ssh|telnet|rexec|rsh|rlogin|local –host hostname
