connect to HP-UX 11.x Gui remotely?
I have heard there is an easy way to "export" (X-windows?)the GUI from an HP-UX 11.x to a workstation?
I am running Linux,(newbie) on a Workstation,(PC) and would like to connect to the HP-UX server remotely. Can someone tell me the steps involved to do this and what if any software I might need to load? I know the HP-UX server is configured for this already. But is there anything I need to install on the Linux PC?
As a side note, can this be done from a Windows based PC?
Thanks for any help...

Re: connect to HP-UX 11.x Gui remotely?
I use it on Windows based workstations and just assign my IP to the display and I'm off.

Re: connect to HP-UX 11.x Gui remotely?
you must install an X-server for the PC.
Tools like Exceed , Reflection are the most widely known.
You must know the IP adress of the machine PC in which you are working.
1- start you X-server
2- telnet to the unix server
3- login and password
4- execute the following command, different with regards to the login shell.
you can check your shell with
echo $SHELL
((if using ksh or sh))
export DISPLAY=YOURIP:0.0
((if using csh))
setenv DISPLAY YUORIP:0.0
5- execute the command
xterm
enjoy !

Re: connect to HP-UX 11.x Gui remotely?
I dont know any way to export the CDE completely to Linux. May be others will come up with their ideas.
But you can open a GUI application on the Linux desktop (KDE, GNOME).
Do a xhost +
Telnet/rlogin/ssh to the hpux server. export $DISPLAY.
start the gui application for example /usr/sbin/sam.
let me know if you need more details.
HTH,
Umapathy

Re: connect to HP-UX 11.x Gui remotely?
Secondly if your linux system is running Xwindows ... why not simply export the display once connected to the hpux system to DISPLAY=

Re: connect to HP-UX 11.x Gui remotely?
it's an X11R6 server so all you should need to do is:
linux # telnet hpux
login:root
passwd:*****
hpux # export DISPLAY=linux:0.0
hpux # xhost +
hpux # xclock &
hpux #
the hpux box needs to be able to resolve linux.. ie. ping linux should work, and there should be no problem.
If you're running windows, you need an Xserver client such as reflectionX (wrq.com) etc..
Later,
Bill

Re: connect to HP-UX 11.x Gui remotely?
it 's very easy to do that on your GNU/Linux workstation.
Xfree is very powerfull to do that because you can launch multiple Xservers connected to multiple servers IN THE SAME TIME (eXceed or reflection/X on MS-windows CANNOT DO THAT)
ON THE HP-UX SERVER
-------------------
1) the hp-ux GUI is called CDE. CDE answer to the XDMCP protocol with the process "dtlogin" --> you should verify that almost ONE dtlogin runs.
2) you have to export CDE fonts on your network --> you should verify that the process "xfs" runs (on your server or another hp-ux server on your network)
3) this is not essential but usefull to display your DISPLAY name on your CDE login screen. Modify the file /etc/dt/config/
Dtlogin*greeting.labelString: Display %DisplayName% \n server %LocalHost% \n hp-ux server
ON THE LINUX WORKSTATION
------------------------
1) you know you can change Virtual Terminal (vt) by : Ctrl-Alt-F1 to F6 to connect to vt01 to vt06 (by default)
by default F7 (vt07) is used for your local Xserver (I mean a xserver connect to your local workstation --> DISPLAY is :0)
2) with this line you are going to realize a XDMCP connection to your hp-ux server on F8 screen (vt08). (DISPLAY will be
X -fp tcp/
3) then you can put this line in a shell-script add a menu on your desktop to launch it.
welcome to the wonderfull world of GNU/Linux workstation

Re: connect to HP-UX 11.x Gui remotely?
Its cheap too: a 3 user license is less than $3000 USD, but you really save money in that it will share licenses with other Citrix servers in your environment. So I've never purchased more than a 3 user license.
Basically, the only thing needed on the desktop is the standard Citrix ICA client. They also make these for various Unixes, so you can send the CDE desktop from your HP host to a Sun or IBM graphical workstation. But whether the ICA client is a M$ desktop client, or another Unix server, this software is pretty cool.
You can get a 45 day free eval copy. Call the Tech Rep, Ronn Martin at eight one seven four nine two four three four six. He'll mail you a CD or set you up with ftp from citrix.com.

Re: connect to HP-UX 11.x Gui remotely?
"xhost + "
(this allows you to X into your Workstation do this for Linux and Unix). Then do your
rlogin/telnet.
2. KDE/gnome work fine, but grainy. I really like a PC with eXceed as my preference.
Linux will work out fine to eXceed or reflectionX. There is no additional software needed to run X6 on Linux.
3. X can be available from
PC's via eXceed / reflectionX
and a host of other PC software
4. EXceed has offered to match our reflection licencecost/seat for X. I prefer to do business with them.
