- I'm trying to start an Xwindows process running on a remote node and
- have it displayed on my local node. The catch is that I don't want to
- log into the remote node to start the process. I'm attempting to use
- the DecNet Remote Command Execution facility, you know... the stuff that
- looks like the following:
-
- type RMT_NODE::"username password":"task=FILE.COM"
-
- I've checked out the commands and everything works fine, I put my local
- node name in the command file and the remote node reads the file and sets
- the display to my local node. The problem is that when I go to run an X
- application (ie. the calculator or clock) I get an "unknown" fatal error -
- something like "NONAME-F-NOMSG, Error number 303030212". That's not the
- number, but it means about the same to me.
-
- Has anyone done this? Can the X windows application be run without having
- a "session" started? Is there some way to find out the error from the error
- number?
