MS Windows is NOT a > network aware windowing system like X. Well, it is, but you have to pay for Terminal Services if you want that capability. Honestly, if you want to run native windows apps remotely just get one of the VNC flavors such as TightVNC (see sourceforge.) But it's safe to say that native Windows apps have absolutely nothing to do with X11, and trying to force them into that mould will not work.

Re: launching GUI programs via command-line ssh
Actually, most of the first ten or so hits are outdated. David, you can
simply add the "-i" (--interactive) flag to cygrunsrv when setting up sshd
(you can temporarily edit the ssh-host-config script -- line 556 for
Win2003, line 563 otherwise). Note that this will cause a CMD window to
pop up for the sshd process (can't be avoided).
Perhaps we should add a "-i" option to ssh-host-config (using the attached
patch)? Corinna, what do you think?

launching GUI programs via command-line ssh
I have been searching for a way to use "su" on my Win2K machine... from the reading I've done in this group the easiest way is to run ssh and log in as Administrator. An excellent solution, and one that works for me. I am curious as to how I might launch a Windows application from my root ssh command line to display within my non-priveleged-user Win2K login session. I guess I'm looking for the Windows equivilant of the X environment commands: unixhost% xhost +Administrator unixhost% setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0 so that if I wanted to run, say, the Event Viewer as root it would display it within my current logon session. thanks dave -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
