Remote Client Startup Mechanisms

How do I start remote clients on to the X Server?

There are many ways in which you can start remote clients.

a) If you are using XDMCP Broadcast or XDMCP Direct to connect to a host, you should first login to the host. The session manager may provide you with an xterm client through which you can directly invoke the X application. Also some window managers provide a list of standard applications on right button popup menu. Simply select the application you wish to start.

b) You can create a desktop short cut using the X Startup Wizards which guide you to provide the information required to startup the X application. Now click on this icon, as you would for any standard window application, and the x application starts on your desktop.

c) You can telnet to the remote host and start the X application. You should specify the `-display' option on the command line. For instance.

$ /usr/bin/x11/xlogo - display(mymachine> : O

will start xlogo on <mymachine>. For this however you should start the xserver beforehand.
