I have the problem to start an application on windows 2000 from a unix host. I decided to do that task over ssh because of security reasons. The application has to use the display of the windows workstation. I installed cygwin on the windows host and configured the ssh-deamon as a windows service. Now I can login from a linux host to the windows machine, but I have a problem to start an application with a graphical surface. If I try to start notepad.exe for example, the shells hangs and I have to stop with CTRL-C.
If I call a Cygwin-Shell on the windows-host directly and type "notepad" the application works correctly. If I try a "ssh localhost" on the Cygwin-Shell I have the same problem as described above. Of course I know about the mechanisms of forwarding displays under unix/linux (like: xhost + hostname, export DISPLAY= hostname:x.x,,... ), but this seems not to work, because I want to connect to a display of a windows host and not to another X-Server. Can anyone help me ? Axel Bauer Philips Medical Systems Boeblingen, Germany -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
