UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I have installed vnc on my SCO 505 box. its running fin, but when I start a session and connect to it from my win machine I do get an Xsession but I only get an xterm and thats it. I know my settings are in my //.vnc/xstartup file but what exactly am I supposed to see there.
will some one send an example of thair settings.

Thanks to all that help and who attempt to help others.

I don't know if this will help you or not....


VNC remote access
TightVNC and Chicken of the VNC

The first has set up information from start to finish - the second has info on changing the xstartup file.

The first link helped alot. Although his installations and configuration didn't really seem to work for me. So I downloaded the VOLS and insatalled that way plus tight vnc shows up in software manager. I then modified my xstartup file to match his and it worked.

Will some one axplain these lines

PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/X11; export PATH
[ -f $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
scosession &

Thanks for all the help.

The first one is adding a line to your PATH environment variable. The environment variable called PATH tells the shell where to look for commands, so this line is adding "/usr/bin/X11" to the end of it, so the shell will look for commands in that directory as well.

The second one, I'm not sure... looks like it should be part of a larger command.. are there any lines around that one, or is it by itself? I'm guessing, but it looks like it's testing "IF $HOME/.Xresources exists and is a regular file AND xrdb $HOME/.Xresources runs successfully, THEN do something else"....

The last one is running the program "scosession" in the background.
