Hi Michael,

Ignore my first post…

To export the gui type the following command where u want the gui to be xported

xhost +

log in into the host from the remote computer and

then intialize the display variable if its C shell then use

setenv DISPLAY x.x.x.x:0.0 (x.x.x.x is ip address of remote host)

or

if its sh

export DISPLAY=x.x.x.x:0.0

after this run ur admintool command thts it.

jaaaaaaaaaaaa
xhost hostname
is better, only hostname has access, not al the other
admintool -display xx.xx.xx.xx:0 &
is better because you can trace it in ps's ouput
vox clamantis in deserto.
