Xclock help
This is where I am getting stuck and I am wondering if I can get some help from the community.
I log into putty with X11 forward enable
echo $DISPLAY
DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
export DISPLAY
xclock ( I do see a clock)
I am happy that I finally get to install Oracle 11g on solaris through GUI but when I run installer, I get this error.
"DISPLAY not set. Please set the DISPLAY and try again.
Depending on the Unix Shell, you can use one of the following commands as examples to set the DISPLAY environment variable:
- For csh: % setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
- For sh, ksh and bash: $ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0; export DISPLAY
Use the following command to see what shell is being used:
echo $SHELL
Use the following command to view the current DISPLAY environment variable setting:
echo $DISPLAY
- Make sure that client users are authorized to connect to the X Server.
To enable client users to access the X Server, open an xterm, dtterm or xconsole as the user that started the session and type the following command:
% xhost +
To test that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, run a X11 based program that comes with the native operating system such as 'xclock':
% <full path to xclock.. see below>
If you are not able to run xclock successfully, please refer to your PC-X Server or OS vendor for further assistance.
Typical path for xclock: /usr/openwin/bin/xclock"

3. Shell Programming and Scripting
Hi everyone,
could you explain why am I not able to bring up xclock, or for that matter any Xtools (xcalc etc...), in the background?
When I execute:
xclock &
This brings up the clock in the foreground, my focus is on the clock, not back in my command window.
Any suggestion?

pvm_export
EXPORT(3PVM) EXPORT(3PVM) NAME
pvm_export, pvm_unexport - Mark environment variables to export through spawn SYNOPSIS
C int cc = pvm_export( char *name ) int cc = pvm_unexport( char *name ) Fortran Not available PARAMETERS
name Name of an environment variable to add to or delete from export list. DESCRIPTION
The routines pvm_export and pvm_unexport are provided for convenience in editing environment variable PVM_EXPORT, while maintaining the colon-separated list syntax it requires. The variable can be modified by other means, and at the same time by the pvm_export functions. pvm_export checks to see if a name is already in PVM_EXPORT before including it, and exporting a name more than once is not considered an error. Likewise, pvm_unexport will not complain if you specify a name not in PVM_EXPORT. EXAMPLES
C: /* PVM_EXPORT=SHELL:HOME */ pvm_export("DISPLAY"); pvm_export("TERM"); pvm_unexport("HOME"); /* PVM_EXPORT=SHELL:DISPLAY:TERM */ ERRORS
No error conditions are currently returned by pvm_export and pvm_unexport. SEE ALSO
