Alfredo, The setenv technique will change your display for that session. Generally this is more handy for me, since I set it once and forget it.
But most X programs will also understand if you pass it a display argument. This will set the display just for that program. Either way is fine. Use whichever is more convenient at the time. Like whether you want the front seat of a car or the backseat depends on whether you want a good view or to get some sleep. -Mark On Thu, 25 Apr 2002, ALLO (Alfredo Lopez) wrote: > Hi, > What is the correct syntax to set/change environmental variable in Linux > (RedHat 7.2)? > For example for the variable $DISPLAY, is it "xterm -display $DISPLAY" > or "setenv DISPLAY $DISPLAY?
