First, use rsh(1), rlogin(1), or telnet(1) to log in to the remote workstation with whatever privilege level is required to perform the maintenance on that system. In some cases, this may be as simple as the guest account, or you may have your own user account on the system, or you may require root permission. Choose the level of access appropriate to your task. Then, issue the command:
The name of the workstation where the window is to be displayed is substituted for local_workstation. The name of the local workstation must be found in the /etc/hosts file of the remote system, where the program is actually running.setenv DISPLAY local_workstation:0
Next, invoke the desired utility or application on the remote system and the window will display on your local workstation. All input and output will be handled through your local workstation. Remember that due to restrictions of network carrying capacity, response time in the program may be slower (in some cases, much slower) than usual.
When you are finished, exit the display program normally. You must also reset the display on the remote station, or all susequent window applications will continue to appear on the local workstation. On the remote system, use the command
to reset the display back to the remote system monitor.setenv DISPLAY :0
