This example starts up an xclock on the remote system. The easy way
to test this for now is to rlogin to the system and type the
commands. Once something works you can write some shell scripts and
use rsh to run them:
hydra is being used to login to oscar and start graphics on oscar.
oscar is displaying the pandora login when this is done:
hydra 2% rlogin oscar -l root
oscar 1# /usr/gfx/stopgfx (screen blanks)
oscar 2# chkconfig windowsystem on
oscar 3# setenv DISPLAY :0.0 (display on local screen)
oscar 4# /usr/bin/X11/X & (start Xsgi)
oscar 5# xclock & (clock is displayed)
To clean up:
oscar 6# /usr/gfx/stopgfx (screen blanks)
oscar 7# /usr/gfx/startgfx (re-start pandora)
