Hello!

Below are my last commands:

# swlist -l product CDE
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "jviqos"...

# Target: jviqos:/
#

CDE B.11.23 HP-UX CDE User Interface

# cd /etc/rc.config.d
# vi desktop
"desktop" 4 lines, 98 characters
# CDE Desktop enabled Tue Aug 29 09:14:31 EDT 2006
DESKTOP=CDE
DTPRTSVR=
DT_LOCAL_X_START_ALWAYS=

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start
# ps -aef|grep dtlogin
root 1729 1655 0 08:32:55 ? 0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin
root 3298 1711 0 09:09:55 console 0:00 grep dtlogin

Plus the Exceed X server is running.

Now how do I access the hpux cde? any command I have to use?

To access CDE, your exceed must make an XDMCP query to all hosts listening. I am not sure how to do it in exceed as my company uses ReflectionX as the X-emulator. I think it is best to check the help section of exceed or a user manual and set the XDMCP query mode on. As long as dtlogin process is running, you have nothing else to do on the hpux server side.

coming to when you need to use ASCII transfer mode, I found it to be useful only in the case you need to transfer text files between a unix server and a windows PC. It automatically converts the / to/from so that your lines does not look garbled when you try to read them on a PC.

As an example, create a text file or find a file, which contains more then 40-50 lines of text on your unix server.

ftp this file to your PC once using binary and another time using ascii transfer modes. Try opening these files with notepad and see the difference yourself.

Hope this helps.

>could you explain me please in which cases should the ASCII mode be enabled? And also which systems use the bare linefeeds, and what for?

As Mel said, you use these for text files. If you don't use ascii transfers, you can use dos2ux(1) and ux2dos(1) to convert the files.

10x for your answers :-) As for the CDE stuff I'll deal with it later coz now I have to work on openview nnm. You've really helped, hope to deal w/ you again soon.
