how can a rsh open a GUI aplication in remote window??
 

Hi all!!

I'm trying to use a rsh call to use in remote machine an aplication that opens display there, but I have this message: "cannot connect to X server".
If I do it with a rlogin it's works, but I need it in a rsh call to launch a script with the aplication

I need that the aplication display in the remote machine, setenv DISPLAY is uselees in this case

I can't use ssh


any idea???

too much thanks anyway :)

You really need to inform which display the app will output to. Even if it is the local one. For the local display, "setenv DISPLAY :0.0; path/to/your/appl" will do the trick. (are you using csh there ?, otherwise "export DISPLAY=:0.0; /path...")

And you already knows rsh is a deprecated/unsecure protocol, isn't ?
I must advice you to change to ssh which works fine for remote applications.

thanks, I deprecated SETENV DISPLAY machine:0.0 thinking that :0.0 will be the default ^^u

thanks by the advice but I can't change to ssh for now

too much thanks :)
