Yet another "priciple"?
At least in mozilla 1.0 it exists (at least partially: I'm not sure about asveAs . See http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html [yup. mozilla succeds opening a URL, but responds to 'saveAs(iglu.ps,PostScript)' with "Failed to send command"] I should note that I encountered problems authenticating the mozilla client. I should note that I had a problem to get mozilla (or any other client) to run on the Xvfb server. They simply won't authenticate. Something like what you suggested, and also: xinit /usr/bin/mozilla -- /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :1 I get failiure of mozilla to connect to the X server, as it is not authorized. What worked in the end was: startx /usr/bin/mozilla -- /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :1 (actually, I currently work on :1, and Xvfb was on :2) Also note that I can't work with mozilla on the same profile with the same user. But then again, you can easily create a seperate profile or use a different user. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
