Re: Rsh starts notepad but no window

Two thoughts come to mind...

A) Xfree86 for cygwin might help you out a little bit..
B) What happens if you run VNC in the context of the rshd's login?

Hi Kari,

<veg>
you just have to walk to the remote PC and use the notepad there ...
</veg>

Windows is not X! Without a real Windows NT terminal server you are not able
to start a GUI Windows application on a remote computer and have your
application window local. Witzh rsh your just able to get the output of
applications that write to the console.

As alternative you may consider to use the free VNC package that allows you
to telecontrol a Windows PC if the VNC server is running there.

Greetings
Jörg

Betreff: Rsh starts notepad but no window

Hello!

I'm trying to start an application with a GUI in remote NT PC using rsh. For
testing I have tried to start notepad by command

rsh host notepad

Notepad seems to start because it appears in processes window of the task
manager but the notepad-window does not apper on screen.

Does anyone know solution ?

Regards Karri
