F-key macro...
Hi everyone,
What I am trying to do is assign a F-key a macro to save a file in vi and display said file in firefox. The details are as follows:
I am using a Win 7 laptop with and ssh program to log into a unix system.
What I am trying to do is figure out how to bring up the firefox browser from the ssh program. The ssh program is a text only program. When I type "firefox3" I get the "Errror: no display specified" I am hoping someone can give me detailed steps. I have read that xterm is not running hence why I am getting the error message. Of course I googled this and really did not get any good responses. I even googled xterm and did a man page on the unix server and it really did not help either.
My thinking is once I get these two things figurede out I can finish up the macro for the F-key.
Thanks.

I'm upleveling code from 10.20 to 11.11....but I'm running into a problem in which the USRSTACK macro does not seem to be defined in 11.11. Has anybody else experienced this/fixed it/worked around it? Is there a different macro I should be using instead?
Thanks for any info you can provide!! (1 Reply)

gnome-ssh-askpass
GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1) General Commands Manual GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)
NAME
gnome-ssh-askpass - prompts a user for a passphrase using GNOME
SYNOPSIS
gnome-ssh-askpass
DESCRIPTION
gnome-ssh-askpass is a GNOME-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH. It is intended to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not
invoked directly. It allows ssh-add(1) to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal (assuming that an X display
is available). This happens automatically in the case where ssh-add is invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the GNOME startup pro-
grams, for example.
In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, gnome-ssh-askpass should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables are recognized:
GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER
Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the X server before asking for a passphrase.
GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER
Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the mouse pointer using gdk_pointer_grab() before asking for a passphrase.
Regardless of whether either of these environment variables is set, gnome-ssh-askpass will grab the keyboard using gdk_keyboard_grab().
