How to invoke SMIT GUI

Hi All

I am using AIX 5.1, i have Cygwin-X installed on my Windows XP Pro desktop, I had started the X-Windows Session and logged into the remote AIX server via telnet.

When i issue the command smit i only get the command line version of the SMIT, How can i invoke the SMIT GUI version ?

Am i missing something here.

Thanks in Advance

You probably just need to set your display:

# DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0
# export DISPLAY

just replace the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP of your desktop.

Check and see if you have enabled X11 tunnelling on in the Cygwin client!

Hope this helps! Smilie
