Xstart Session

By creating an Xstart session, a remote host X application can be executed in a user's PC. Xstart automatically processes the remote host login process and executes remote X applications designated by the user.
Users can create Xstart sessions in both Xstart and Xmanager.

To Create a Session with Xstart:

1. Run Xstart located in the Xmanager Folder.
2. Click [New]. The New Session dialog box is displayed.
3. Enter a new session name and click [OK].
4. Enter the remote UNIX/Linux host name or IP address in [Host].
5. Select one of the host supported protocols from [Protocol].
6. Click [Setup] to set options by protocol, such as port or timeout.
7. Enter remote host user account in [User Name].
8. To save user password in session, set [Authentication] as Password and click the [Setup] button on the right. The Password Setup dialog box is displayed.
9. Enter a command to be executed in the remote host in [Command]. To run xterm, enter command as follows: /usr/bin/X11/xterm –ls –display $DISPLAY
   • Note
     Press the button below the [Command] label to see a list of generally used sample xterm commands registered by different UNIX/Linux types. Select the xterm command suited to the UNIX/Linux to connect to. User can also add/remove frequently used commands by opening the Registered Commands dialog box. $DISPLAY is converted to the PC's IP address and the display number that the Xmanager server is waiting for. However, if the SSH Protocol is being utilized, DISPLAY is automatically specified according to the X11 forwarding protocol, so the '-display $DISPLAY' option is not required. Xstart will not convert $DISPLAY while delivering the command.
10. Click [Save].

To Create a Session with Xmanager:

1. Run Xmanager in the Xmanager Folder.
2. Point to [New] in the [File] menu and select [Xstart Session]. The New Session Properties dialog box is displayed.
3. Enter [Session] name in [General] tab. Make sure not to enter a duplicate session name with an existing session file.
4. Enter the remote UNIX/Linux host name or IP address in [Host].
5. Select one of the host supported protocols from [Protocol].

6. Click [Setup] to set options by protocol, such as port or timeout.
7. Enter remote host user account in [User Name].
8. Enter the password to the user account in [Password].
9. Enter a command to be executed in the remote host in [Execution Command]. For example, enter command as follows to run xterm: /usr/bin/X11/xterm –ls –display $DISPLAY
10. Click [OK].

• Note
  Users can also create Xstart sessions using the New Session Wizard provided in Xmanager. Make sure the Xmanager session category is set as Xstart, then point to [New] in the [File] menu and select [New Session Wizard] to open the wizard.

2. Select a session from [Session] list.
