The X-windows client-server relationship seems a bit confused. When you connect to a unix host (you'd normally consider this as your server, because you connect to it) and say "start an X-windows tool", what you are actually doing is starting a client on the unix host that connects to your desktop (i.e. the server part) and draws up the window.
To make your desktop an X-windows server, you need the software installed and the security set to allow the connection. Usually a command to the X-server software host unix.ip.address.here is what you need. You can then (on unix) set the DISPLAY variable to your desktop and the run the X-windows tool, something like:-
You can test this with xclock, or perhaps xeyes which is a little more fun.
Hi All:
An elementary Unix Question,

My "problem" is that it's set correctly and I want to break it, but can't figure out where it's getting set in the first place.
I can see several places where $DISPLAY is referenced but at the point that the dollar sign is in front it's already an environment variable(I think).
I thought... (1 Reply)
Hi all,
Our users use Putty on Windows servers to log on to UNIX via SSH and run GUI applications. Is there a way to automatically get the display numbers from xming or Exceed (that are running on Windows) to set the DISPLAY var properly on UNIX? X11 forwarding is not an option.
The closest I... (3 Replies)

auscope
AUSCOPE(1) General Commands Manual AUSCOPE(1)NAME
auscope - Network Audio System Protocol Filter
SYNOPSIS
auscope [ option ] ...
DESCRIPTION
auscope is an audio protocol filter that can be used to view the network packets being sent between an audio application and an audio
server.
auscope is written in Perl, so you must have Perl installed on your machine in order to run auscope. If your Perl executable is not
installed as /usr/local/bin/perl, you should modify the first line of the auscope script to reflect the Perl executable's location. Or,
you can invoke auscope as
perl auscope [ option ] ...
assuming the Perl executable is in your path.
To operate, auscope must know the port on which it should listen for audio clients, the name of the desktop machine on which the audio
server is running and the port to use to connect to the audio server. Both the output port (server) and input port (client) are automati-
cally biased by 8000. The output port defaults to 0 and the input port defaults to 1.
ARGUMENTS
-i<input-port>
Specify the port that auscope will use to take requests from clients.
-o<output-port>
Determines the port that auscope will use to connect to the audio server.
-h<audio server name>
Determines the desktop machine name that auscope will use to find the audio server.
-v<print-level>
Determines the level of printing which auscope will provide. The print-level can be 0 or 1. The larger numbers provide greater
output detail.
EXAMPLES
In the following example, mcxterm is the name of the desktop machine running the audio server, which is connected to the TCP/IP network
host tcphost. auscope uses the desktop machine with the -h command line option, will listen for client requests on port 8001 and connect
to the audio server on port 8000.
Ports (file descriptors) on the network host are used to read and write the audio protocol. The audio client auplay will connect to the
audio server via the TCP/IP network host tcphost and port 8001:
auscope -i1 -o0 -hmcxterm
auplay -audio tcp/tcphost:8001 dial.snd
In the following example, the auscope verbosity is increased to 1, and the audio client autool will connect to the audio server via the
network host tcphost, while displaying its graphical interface on another server labmcx:
auscope -i1 -o0 -hmcxterm -v1
autool -audio tcp/tcphost:8001 -display labmcx:0.0
