Undefined variable when I using remsh

Jan Studsgaard_2 — Tue, 02 Oct 2001 08:41:35 GMT

I have a problem when I using remsh to another client. It seems that I have problem with setting variable om the remote machine.
I have to set some variables on the remote machine, but it comes up with this message "Display: undefined variable" even if I set the variables on the remote machine.
Can anyone tell me how I can solve this problem.
I attached the script file regarding the above problem.
Best Regards

Hi,

Try "export DISPLAY" after setting it, otherwise it will not be available to the environment.

Rgds, Robin.

remsh uses csh by defaults. Where are you setting these environment variables? Try setting them in .cshrc. See the following thread for more details:

Hi all,

I could be wrong but it appears remsh uses the shell defined for the user in /etc/passwd on the remote system. I just ran a test and that's the result I got.
