Exporting the DISPLAY upon logon automagically

[snooperx]

Hello all.

What would be a nice script for exporting the DISPLAY from the originating user´s machine after he telnets to a box?

I already got one working on AIX, but on HP-UX the ´who´ produces an output withou an IP address that I could export.
Any hints?

Thanks!
Jeffo.

Sample AIX Script:

export DISPLAY=`who am i|cut -d "(" -f 2|tr -d &quot"|tr -d " "`:0.0
echo $ECHO_ARG "\nDISPLAY=$DISPLAY\n\n"

Rather depends on what you're doing, but you might try using this command.......

(/usr/bin/X11/hpterm -fn 6x13 -sb -ls -display %IP#% -name %T% &)

or you might be stuck with "who am i" and searching through "who -u" for your ttyp? and hence you IP address or hostname.

Hello!
Actualyl I´m trying to export the DISPLAY VARIABLE from the originating box. That´s all, so that, if the user runs SAM for example, the display would be already exported.

I think I´ll have to "be stuck with who am i"...

Holy moly!

I found out the "-R" option along with ´who am i´, so I can use the SAME script for AIX I´ve posted up there...
Like this:

------------------------------------
export DISPLAY=`who am i -R |cut -d "(" -f 2|tr -d &quot"|tr -d " "`:0.0
echo $ECHO_ARG "\nDISPLAY=$DISPLAY\n\n"
------------------------------------
