Unhappy xterm

hi
I'm trying to launch admintool via an export DISPLAY.
that is i am doing a rlogin to serverB from serverA.
i did the command
export DISPLAY=serverA:0
but it prompted me the error
DISPLAY=serverA:0: is not an identifier
i have searched the forum but there is not much things on this error
i also tried doing this command in another server and it prompted me command not found.
is there a way to install the command line?
please help

In the export DISPLAY statement, try by giving IP address like

export DISPLAY=169.168.74.74:0

Check your shell with echo $SHELL - getting the command not found error is usually from running export DISPLAY in a csh/tcsh shell. It's not a valid command.

If you are using ksh or sh, you might need to run the DISPLAY and export separately.

$ DISPLAY=servera:0 ; export DISPLAY

You might also need to use the xhost serverB command on serverA - it tells serverA to accept the display from serverB.

Look at the man pages for export and xhost. It may also help if you post your OS and version of both servers.
