Hi,
I work for a distribution center where we run qnx 4. We have an application
that has a gui in X11. I can provide remote support through phindows on an
nt box which gets me the shell. I want to be able to remote control the
gui.
I used Exceed successfully one time by doing the following:
Started Exceed on the NT box
Telnet to node1 (our IP portal)
Ditto to node39 (a node running X and the GUI part of the app)
export SOCK=1 (node 1 that I am telnet’d to)
export DISPLAY=ip address of my node (yes, it is on the same subnet)
xterm
The first time I did this my display came up on the nt box in exceed fine.
I went back to the ditto node and started the application which came up
okay.
After that first time, the x window display does not come up. The message
‘Unable to open display my ip’ comes back.
I know that another one of our distribution centers tried this with the same
results. Any ideas on this or any way we can remotely run the gui app? Can
you do this in phindows? Any help or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
