I want to pop up a message on a remote machine using "xmessage" kinda like Windows Messenger does
I tried this thru ssh -Y and -X options but the xmessage window is displayed back to me (which I dont want)
I am Disallowing TCP connections to the remote X-Server boxes (I am not allowed to change this). So resetting and exporting DISPLAY is not an option
Is there another way to do this this is what I have been doing
Code:
ssh -l user1@linux1; xmessage -fg black -bg-white -file messagefile -timeout 600&
previously when I had X allowing TCP connnections this actually worked
Code:
ssh -l user1@linux1; " DISPLAY=linux1:0.0; export DISPLAY; xmessage -fg black -bg-white -file messagefile -timeout 600&"
oh yeah.....I'm running this on RHEL4/CentOS boxes
