- On the remote node where I want the Xwindows client process to run, I have
- a command procedure named REM_DECTERM.COM which contains:
-
- $ Set NoVerify
- $ Server_Node = F$TrnLNm("Sys$Rem_Node","LNm$Job") - "::"
- $ Client_Node = F$TrnLNm("Sys$Node","LNm$System") - "::"
- $ Set Display /Create /Node='Server_Node'
- $ Create /Terminal=DECterm -
- /NoProcess -
- /Window_Attributes=( -
- Title="''Client_Node' DECterm", -
- Icon_Name="''Client_Node'" )
- $ Set Display /Delete
- $ Exit
-
- Then on my local node, I enter:
-
- $ TYPE client_node::"TASK=REM_DECTERM"
-
- Of course, I have set up a symbol for this command. Make sure all your
- DECnet proxies and Session Manager security authorizations are set up
- properly.
