Hi, Charles, The VNC server acts as just another display on another host, at least in an *nix environment. So if the vnc server is LinuxBox:1, you might be able to set the environment variable DISPLAY to LinuxBox:1 from any shell or script that runs on the HPUX box (or any other box for that matter). Any X clients that are launched should show up on LinuxBox:1, even though they are apps running on the HPUX box. I think it's all handled by the X protocol. Another idea: is it possible to start a VNC server on the HPUX box? If the compiled binaries are not available, perhaps it can be compiled from source.
