Where do you have your display?

On a PC running windows or linux?

In this case you ned to export the DISPLAY varaible to your pc.

Hi Rajesh

You need to export DISPLAY first

on Unix box

export DISPLAY ( ip of your PC ) :0.0

If you telnetting the HP-UX from Windows and trying this, it wont work.

You need to use an X-emulator if you like to open GUI from Windows

You could use Reflection-X or X-manager software on WIndows
