Re: Easy command to launch remote desktop on cygwin-xfree?
This has come up a number of times recently. Look in the archives for July, 2002: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-07 Search for the following subjects: scripting using Xterm ssh need help scripting multiple xfree startups Your help please... From: CRAIG SETERA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Easy command to launch remote desktop on cygwin-xfree? Date: Thu, 08 Aug 2002 14:46:49 -0400 I've already tried all of the different HOWTO's to try and get XDM going without any success. That was why I was hoping someone could give me a command or two to get it going via SSH forwarding. Thanks, Craig _ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Thanks,

just hacked this out... it isn't ideal and requires... modification of
the source...
it's based off an old x example xxterm.c, which was in the kdevelop examples
modify the machines at the beginning to your network
gcc -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib -o sxterm sxterm.c -lX11
./xsterm
it has 2 arguments, username and remote_command
if you want to run things w/ 2 different usernames you might fix it..
or run xsterm twice :)
oh my
command line parsing is badness, and if you want to use option 2, you
should also provide option 1
ie this works for me
xsterm matt /usr/X11R6/bin/xeyes
