X windows sessions

[BOMBA_1]

Hi,
We have several HP-UX and SUN servers, we use Relexion X (8.0) (a good product) but it isn't possible to open multiple X windows session. Do you know how is it possible to do that?

Reflections does not support multiple X sessions but I guess what you might do is
make all servers output their display on one X session. So assume you have 5Hp's and a Sun then log on one server using Reflections and type "xhost +" to allow the server to accept X connections from everyone. then set the env variable "DISPLAY" on the other servers to the server running X on reflection.

something like "export DISPLAY=192.168.1.251:0.0" if the server on which reflections is running happens to have that ip..

you can play with xhost to allow only a subset of hosts from which it can accept connections..

like this by telnetting to the other servers and executing a command which requires X it will automatically display to the one you are logged in.

that should solve your prob..

good luck

No, you can make one server connection
using Rx. But, you can achieve the
functionality you are seeking, by logging
into one server and exporting the Display
(export DISPLAY=:0.0 to get GUI's
of other systems too. You would need
to telnet from the GUI and do this setting.

You can if you scrap the-lack-of-reflections. I did this years ago and got exceed from hummingbird. I find exceed to be a much better product. we used to be a reflection shop, until I pushed exceed, the better product.

you *might* also be lucky if you use Xnest an nested Xserver running under your single CDE login via reflectionsX .... I'm out of the UKRC today and tomorrow so am unable to try this method but it might work .... if it does it will allow you to run multiple CDE sessions under one main RX CDE session ...just remember to change the Xnest display parameter for each new display required
