Exceed to console desktop

[Matthias Oswald]

Hi,
we have a unix box with a terminal connected.
On this terminal we start the application and it opens various X windows.
I can Exceed to this box but I wonder if it would be possible to have also the session exported to my Exceed session in order to for example stop the application properly through X windows.
Can I somehow export the console desktop to my Exceed session ?

Thanks,
Matthias

Matthias,
have you looked at:

With reflectionX I just specify on the console the DISPLAY id of the terminal I want to display to (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:0.0) and do for example a "sam &". This displays the session on my PC terminal

Yes, I can start any new application and it will show on my Exceed seesion.
But I would like to get the current screen/desktop of the local terminal re-directed to my (remote) Exceed session.
The current local desktop holds the icons to stop properly the application

Thanks,
Matthias

Hi,
Xwindows does not work with two different DISPLAY variables at same time for same session.
That means that you can not export the console desktop to Exceed or other.

Thanks Borislav,
I thought only re-directing it from the console to the Exceed session, not necessarily having the same sessions in a local and remote screen.

You can use VNC to share X sessions
between two systems. See http://www.realvnc.com/
for a description of VNC.

There are basically two approaches:

1 The console user running X11,
runs a vnc server and uses a VNC viewer
to interact with the application. The
application is displayed to the VNC
session instead of directly to the console
X11 session.
You would then run a vnc client
from your PC to share this vnc session.

2 The console user running X11 also
runs x11vnc (http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/)
You would then run the vnc client from
your PC to share the session.
