Hi all,
I have written a script. I need the output of the script to be popped up in the desktops. Is there any way I can do it? Ports have been already opened betweent the desktops and the server. Kindly help me with this.

Thanks in Advance!!

I'm not sure 'exactly' what your wanting. There is nothing attached for us to see what you did...

But, when I want a 'menu or screen' to appear I use a case statements in my script. Have you considered that option.

Regards,
Rita

xdialog OR hpterm can be used ;

# xdialog -t 'Title' -O Close -f /tmp/file_name

Hi:

That tells us nothing.

Are you running the script on a server with a terminal or an emulated terminal controlling the session hosting the script?

> Is there any way I can do it?

There is generally a way to do most things.

Which ports and why do you provide this information in the absence of presenting the script you have written? We can't tell anything from this.

Hi all,

We have a daily activity in our environment. I have written a script for that in one of our servers and I have scheduled that. To ensure whether that activity is done or not, right now we are getting mails. I thought it would be better if a pop-up comes in our desktop when we log-in stating that activity is done. We have winxp and vista OS in our desktops.

Ports have been opened between our desktops and the server in which the script has been scheduled.

Kindly help me with this.

Have you considered Jabber (i.e. XMPP)?

CIFS (SAMBA) will do this for you via the smbclient command, but it may be a lot of effort to setup just to achieve something pretty simple... anyway if you awant info on it a google search of:

samba pop up message site:itrc.hp.com

Should turn up some useful examples for you.
