Unable to show xclock in UNIX for windows

i had tried to run the xclock after i login into my HP UX machine using the C shell in the Services for Unix (Windows) but the xclock does not pop up. Do anyone has the same issue? Do i need to install some X windows package as well? Thanks

Two options:-

If you are using HP-UX as your desktop GUI, then it may just be a declaration required, such as:-
Code:
export DISPLAY=:0.0
xclock

If you are using a Windows desktop with a terminal client to log on to HP-UX, you will need to have a X-win server on the desktop that you want the clock to appear on, i.e. the xclock code acts as a client.

Something like Cygwin (free to down load, you need the X11 bit) will work fine for most Windows desktops.


When you fire up the X-windows server, you may need to open up security of what can connect to you. In the command window, type in:-
Code:
xhost +

Then with your telnet/ssh terminal connection run this:-
Code:
export DISPLAY=your.desk.IP.addr:0.0
xclock

Hopefully that will get you going, but if not, are you getting an error message?
