O.K. I think I should explain my problem more detailed. Because of company confidentials I only will describe the principal problem. We have a unix-host, running several services. On this host we want to call a script ( e.g. perl or bash-script) which starts an application on the windows machine. The windows application itself is served by a human operator on the windows host. In other words: The only task of the unix machine is to start the application, nothing more. Our intention is to use an ssh-connection to do that task. Therefore I installed cygwin togehter with sshd. From the Unix side it should be possible to make an ssh-call like "ssh -x user@windowshost applicationcommand" The only problem is the connection from the sshd-service (on windows) to the windows-display. I think that Vince Hoffman gave me a very good hint in his answer. (Allow sshd to connect the windows display). I try them out at the moment.
