Hi, I've got a problem with Cygwin/X server (via Cygwin 1.7.1) Assuming we have a PC on Linux called X and a PC on Windows called Y. I want to send a SSH command from X to Y which launchs firefox on Y. (ie Windows)
Firstly, if I go to Y (Windows) and launch a Cygwin shell and then enter the 'firefox' command (firefox is in the PATH environment variable of course), the Firefox is launched correctly and I can navigate to whatever I want. If I send a SSH command from X (Linux) to Y (Windows) with the firefox command : ssh usern...@y_ip_address firefox, I've got a firefox.exe process in the task manager of Y but Firefox is in the background (ie there is no Firefox window). I have set the DISPLAY environment variable to :0.0. Do you know why it is launched in background ? Is there a mean of displaying Firefox launched from the Linux box on Windows ?
