No, more like the DISPLAY environment variable. E have floating DM licenses for all remote sessions. What started this whole thing is that historically the remote users connected directly from their PC, so DISPLAY could be PC_NAME:0, and all was well. This is hard coded in /opt/ia/.profile. With the new design, if we continued to use X, we would need to set DISPLAY to TER_SERVER;SESION_NUMBER. I want to take advantage of having to make this change to switch to VNC, so I never ever have to deal with fonts and colors on the PC end again. BTW, what is the syntax of the command to disable omsets from the shell? > -----Original Message----- > From: Stan Brown [mailto:stanb@xxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Terry Doucet > Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 9:31 AM > To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [foxboro] disabling sets > > Stan, > > So what IT calls "session number" we call DM name?
