execution. So for port the the options are are:
atma@devo:~/ > sudo port help
Password:
port
[-bcdfknopqRstuvy] [-D portdir] [-F cmdfile] action
[privopts] [actionflags]
[[portname|pseudo-portname|port-url] [@version] [+-
variant]... [option=value]...]...
[...]
When you type for instance "sudo port install irssi" it does install
irssi. Then you run irssi by running the proram itself. The port
command has nothing to do with this.
In order to run the programs installed by macports you need to add the
path to your .profile. For more info on that take a look here
http://trac.macports.org/wiki/InstallingMacPorts#a3.SettheshellenvironmentIn your case you should run just "xmgr" or the binary names of the
executables of the package, just like any other command line program.
