I used to have this in my .cshrc set DISP = `who am i | sed -e "s/(//" -e "s/)//" | awk '{printf "%s",$6}'` setenv DISPLAY {$DISP}:0.0
This works as long as I am on X server 0 So my local machine is alpha and I login to beta, I would have a DISPLAY set to alpha:0 The problem is what if my local machine X was started with startx -- :1 and not startx Then also it would set it to alpha:0, though the correct usage would be alpha:1 Is there a way of automatically doing that? regards Tanveer _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
