Currently, i can see gpm graphic graph on my one of the server's PC.(server running omniback, one dump terminal and one PC running Win98). Any idea how can i use the same PC to monitor another server performance gpm ?? When i rlogin and run the gpm, display error !!

If your running gpm already on your PC then you must be running an X emulator (such as Exceed or Reflections ?). To run it from a different HP server you must first run the command; xhost + from the first HP server you run CDE/VUE into. Then you can rlogin to another HP server and do export DISPLAY= and run GUI's such as GPM, or SAM or XSTM etc.

eg. When you start your X emulator you connect to HP server called HP1. Once logged in start a dtterm or hpterm window and do the command; xhost +
Now you can rlogin to any other HP server and export your DISPLAY and run a GUI.

Just need to do "export DISPLAY:0.0" on the server you want to open the other gpm.

good luck.

Hi,

If you rlogin to another host your DISPLAY variable won't get set correctly. Just do what Pedro said on pointing the display variable to your PC then your problem should be fixed.

There seem to be a typo error with Pedro's message as the equal sign was missed.

Correct syntax should be,

export DISPLAY=:0.0

Minor point for us lazy folks.
export DISPLAY=:0.0
The last .0 is not needed unless you have multiple displays and need to specify .1, as the .0 is assumed.
