Operating Systems AIX Hostname of where any windows is opened ? Post 302364476 by Browser_ice on Friday 23rd of October 2009 07:45:04 AM

Question Hostname of where any windows is opened ?

Is it possible to get the hostname of the server we are currently working on (physically) even if we have rlogged/tn to another one ?

There is this DISPLAY variable we always have to setup everytime we log to a server (anyone). It has to be set to the name of the server we are physically working on. Its a bit annoying having to do this all the time. The purpose of this variable it to use VPRINT/BPRINT command that print the content of the window we point at. It has to know on which server that window is.

ex:

I am physically on Server-A, I open up a xterm on it, in it I telenet to Server-B. If I need to print anything from that window, then I need to set DISPLAY=Server-A on Server-B.

I am physically on Server-C, I am working on an xterm logged on to that server, I do an rlogin to Server-D. If I need to print anything from that window, then I need to set DISPLAY=Server-C on Server-D.
