I am trying to call a script located on my Windows box from my Unix box through rsh. All the script does is run a java GUI application that outputs some information in standard out. When I run this script through rsh, the java process is up and running on Windows (I also see output, also check task manager) but the GUI frame does not show up. On Windows, I installed cygwin and xfree. I started X via xstartwin. I also xhost + to allow any host to remotely display on Windows. I know display isn't the problem because if I am on my Unix machine, if I set the display to Windows, and run the java app locally on Unix, the app correctly displays on Windows. Only if the I'm trying to rsh the same script on Windows from Unix, this doesn't work. Another interesting point is that if I were to change the script on Windows to run cygwin/xfree xterm instead of the java app, and from Unix rsh the script, the xterm correctly displays. But as soon as I put in the java app, it does not display.
To summarize: 1. From Unix, run java app on Unix, display to Windows (works) 2. From Unix, rsh java app on Windows, display to Windows (does NOT work) 3. From Unix, rsh cygwin xapps (xterm, xclock etc) on Windows, display to Windows (works) Does anyone know what this might be the case? And is there any way to get #2 to work? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com
