Re: [foxboro] Additional DM with X-Windows

 
Here's the way to share DM's between  AW's or WP's . 

It is better to call them across the Second Ethernet Network to reduce the
traffic on Nodebus. 

1.  At least one additional Display Manager should be configured floating or

    dedicated to the Remote workstation. (dmcfg) 

2.  A TCP/IP network connection should be established between the two
workstations . 

For transparent logons between stations, you need to specify the second
ethernet 
alias names in the  /.rhosts files on the Workstations . 

For example, you have a WP with the letterbug P1WP01 which has a second
ethernet name of WPP101.  You want to access a graphic from WPP101 on a WP
inanother area connected on ethernet.  It's letterbug is C1WP01 and the
second ethernet name is WPC101. 

1.  Edit the /.rhosts file on P1WP01 to include WPP101. 
2.  On both P1WP01 and C1WP01, create two directories: 

     /opt/foxind/RemoteDM/scripts 

     /opt/foxind/RemoteDM/logs 

3. On P1WP01, build a script file called sendDM in the scripts directory
which looks 
   like this: 

#!/bin/sh 
exec >/opt/foxind/RemoteDM/logs/`basename $0`.$1.log 2>&1 
set -x 
echo ARGS=$* 
DISPLAY=$1 
export DISPLAY 
/usr/fox/wp/bin/dm_wp50 &

3.  On C1WP01, create a script file called remoteDM in the scripts directory
which looks like     this: 

#!/bin/sh 

exec >/opt/foxind/RemoteDM/logs/`basename $0`.$1.log 2>&1 
set -x 
/usr/openwin/bin/xhost + 
for i in le1 le2 le3 le4 hme1 
do 
     if [ -s /etc/hostname.$i ] 
     then 
           HERE=`cat /etc/hostname.$i`:0.0 
     fi 
done 
/bin/rsh $1 /opt/foxind/RemoteDM/scripts/sendDM $HERE 

4.  Make the scripts executable on both WPs by typing: 

            chmod +x /opt/foxind/RemoteDM/scripts/* 

5.  From C1WP01, to invoke a display manager from P1WP01, type: 

            /opt/foxind/RemoteDM/scripts/remoteDM WPP101 

 A log file will get created in the /opt/foxind/RemoteDM/logs directory. 

6.  Optionally, you can add it to the Openwindows Program Menu 

             /usr/openwin/lib/openwin-menu-programs 

"P1WP01 Display Manager ..."         
exec opt/foxind/RemoteDM/scripts/remoteDM WPP101 

     Or you could run it from a Display Manager pick.  You could create a
pick 

      /usr/fox/sys/DM@P1WP01 which looks like this: 

            dmcmd script 

     dmcmd run /opt/foxind/RemoteDM/scripts/remoteDM WPP101 

To invoke FoxView instead of Display Manager, substitute
/opt/fox/wp/FoxView/foxview for /usr/fox/wp/bin/dm_wp50 in the sendDM
program. 

Hope this Helps .
