- Hello,
-
- is there a way to set the DISPLAY variable to be the particular workstation
- you are using inside ".bashrc". That is, I want every new xterm, for
- whatever host I happen to be logging into, to have DISPLAY set to my
- workstation. Note that my workstation will vary, so I can't just
- hardwire
-
- export DISPLAY=workstation:0.0
-
- inside my .bashrc file.
-
- Thanks
-
