Comment: Hello people.
I have 2 machines (Unix) A and B.
I'm on machine A. I want to start one graphic app on my machine B and I want it being displayed on B.
I'm trying, for example
ssh -1 machineB xterm netscape
But it tries to open on machine A, obviously returning an error.
Someone have some clue about how I can do it?
Thanks

Reply: (edit)I don't know if this will work with SSH, but give it a try: + rlogin (slogin) from A to B.
+ on B, export your DISPLAY variable:
# DISPLAY=A:0
# export DISPLAY
+ run your application
# ./myapplication If netscape is your app, it seems a bit strange to do this, but ....

Reply: (edit)Write a shell script on machine B to say something like... #!/bin/ksh export DISPLAY=999.999.999.999:0.0
nohup netscape & >/dev/null 2>&1 ...then use the "remsh" command to remotely fire the script. You will have to set the .rhosts file on machine B to accept remote shell calls from machien A. Sean

Reply: (edit)Paul's solution would be perfect if you consider the following as well:
1. all of first, on B, start x window, then run : xhost +A in a shell window.
2. then do what Paul suggested.
