Redirecting the CDE display

[Milan Stojanovic]

Is there a way to run CDE on a HP-UX server (Kx60) but to display it on to the monitor of the workstation that is connected on the same lan.
- a HP-UX workstation is used as a replacement for the X-terminal running Netstation.
Since the workstation is running it's own CDE some differences in CDE configuration occurred.

All you have to do is setup the enviornment variable DISPLAY to the IP of the machine (as long as X is running on the machine).

export DISPLAY=IP:0

Hi

2 things:
export DISPLAY=:0.0

and on the workstation you have to enable xserver access:
/usr/bin/X11/xhost +

(You might consider switching the + for your server name to thighten security.)

What I am trying to do is to redirect CDE not display.
What that means is as with X-terminal that has servers dtgret and when you login you gogin to the servers (K-box) CDE (servers dtgret) instead to workstations CDE.

Hi Milan,

I guess what you want to do is run the CDE getty on a different workstation, which has its own CDE screen. This is not possible.

Thanks

Hello Milan,

go to workstation, use "init 2" to go back to multi-user mode without X-Windows (i.e. CDE).
Then log on and issue the command line:
X -query NAME-OR-IP-ADDRESS

Then you'll get the CDE-login screen from that station.

HTH,

Thanks,

for now just temporary solution is.
On s700 workstation select Command line login
login as root and run
exec /usr/bin/X11/X :0 indirect s800.server.hostname

new login screen comes up, select s800.server.hostname entry in chooser and click OK.

New Dtgreet login window pops up from s800.server.
