Re: cygwin as X terminal(s) ?

This is an X-specific question, and needs to go to the Cygwin/X list.

Try "X :0 -broadcast", "X :1 -broadcast", etc.  For more information, see
"man XWin".

cygwin as X terminal(s) ?

2006-09-24 Thread Richard Foulk
Aloha,

As someone pointed out you can use Cygwin with X as an X terminal.
For remote admin of a linux/unix box that's pretty handy.  By invoking
this command from Cygwin before starting X:

x -broadcast

you get a window that contains the whole remote desktop.  Is there a way
to create multiple separate such windows/desktops on one Cygwin system?
That would be mighty handy for admining multiple machines.


Thanks

Richard
