Terminal
Hello,

I'm completely new to UNIX, and as part of a project I'm doing at university I am using a UNIX SOLAR computer. I have been told to SSH tunnel to access it, using Putty and VNC, which I have done and works.
When I could then 'see' the computer from home I had a terminal open, but I was playing around, before I knew what I was doing and pressed CTR + D, which I now know, logs out.

So now I have no terminal to work from in VNC. When I close Putty and VNC and login again, the terminal still isn't there.
I hope someone could please help me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
Jono

P.S. Here is a screenshot of what I can see now

Perhaps you pressed the Ctrl-Q key and suspended output. Try Ctrl-S to restart output.

Set your display in the putty connection to the correct value for the VNC connection (solar:2). then run "/usr/openwin/bin/xterm &" without the quotes.

What shell are you using? ( "echo $0" will tell you )

This will tell the machine where to display your windows, then open a new terminal on that display.

solar > echo $0
