Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Xming Vs ssh connect to RHEL server from Windows machine Post 302769516 by chilinski on Tuesday 12th of February 2013 01:53:17 PM

It may be that you don't have the display variable set up on the linux side.

When I want to use the Sun Java Directory Server on my LDAP server, I ssh to the machine and run this little script:

Code:
#! /bin/bash
#This little script reads the ipaddress of the session that just logged
#in via SSH and sets up the xwindows display. Exceed must be running
#on the local terminal first.

echo "Do you have Exceed or Xming running? (y or n) and Enter"
read response
if [ "$response" == "y" ]; then
ip_addr=${SSH_CONNECTION%% *}
DISPLAY=$ip_addr:0.0
export DISPLAY
/var/mps/serverroot/startconsole
fi

This sets the DISPLAY variable based on the ip from which you connnected. The linux box needs to know where to send the display based on the DISPLAY variable. In my script, after the variable is set, it runs the startconsole program. This is on a Solaris system; on a normal linux system Xterm is usually used.

So, typically, you would ssh to the box, set the DISPLAY and then run the program you want on the Linux machine. Does that make sense?

Mod Comment edit by bakunin: PLEASE! My supply of CODE-tags is already running low as i have to give them away the whole day long. Please use your own CODE-tags for your code (not Italic-tags) so that mine last a little longer. This code tag video shows you how. Thank you.

NAME
script - make typescript of terminal session SYNOPSIS
script [options] [file] DESCRIPTION
script makes a typescript of everything displayed on your terminal. It is useful for students who need a hardcopy record of an interactive session as proof of an assignment, as the typescript file can be printed out later with lpr(1). If the argument file is given, script saves the dialogue in this file. If no filename is given, the dialogue is saved in the file type- script. OPTIONS
-a, --append Append the output to file or to typescript, retaining the prior contents. -c, --command command Run the command rather than an interactive shell. This makes it easy for a script to capture the output of a program that behaves differently when its stdout is not a tty. -e, --return Return the exit code of the child process. Uses the same format as bash termination on signal termination exit code is 128+n. -f, --flush Flush output after each write. This is nice for telecooperation: one person does `mkfifo foo; script -f foo', and another can supervise real-time what is being done using `cat foo'. --force Allow the default output destination, i.e. the typescript file, to be a hard or symbolic link. The command will follow a symbolic link. -q, --quiet Be quiet (do not write start and done messages to standard output). -t[file], --timing[=file] Output timing data to standard error, or to file when given. This data contains two fields, separated by a space. The first field indicates how much time elapsed since the previous output. The second field indicates how many characters were output this time. This information can be used to replay typescripts with realistic typing and output delays. -V, --version Display version information and exit. -h, --help Display help text and exit. NOTES
The script ends when the forked shell exits (a control-D for the Bourne shell (sh(1)), and exit, logout or control-d (if ignoreeof is not set) for the C-shell, csh(1)). Certain interactive commands, such as vi(1), create garbage in the typescript file. script works best with commands that do not manipulate the screen, the results are meant to emulate a hardcopy terminal. It is not recommended to run script in non-interactive shells. The inner shell of script is always interactive, and this could lead to unexpected results. If you use script in the shell initialization file, you have to avoid entering an infinite loop. You can use for example the .profile file, which is read by login shells only: if test -t 0 ; then script exit fi You should also avoid use of script in command pipes, as script can read more input than you would expect. ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variable is utilized by script: SHELL If the variable SHELL exists, the shell forked by script will be that shell. If SHELL is not set, the Bourne shell is assumed. (Most shells set this variable automatically). SEE ALSO
csh(1) (for the history mechanism), scriptreplay(1) HISTORY
The script command appeared in 3.0BSD. BUGS
script places everything in the log file, including linefeeds and backspaces. This is not what the naive user expects. script is primarily designed for interactive terminal sessions. When stdin is not a terminal (for example: echo foo | script), then the session can hang, because the interactive shell within the script session misses EOF and script has no clue when to close the session. See the NOTES section for more information. AVAILABILITY
The script command is part of the util-linux package and is available from Linux Kernel Archive <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils /util-linux/>. util-linux June 2014 SCRIPT(1)
