Dear all,

In this shell script that I am writing, I need to send a popup message to another Solaris machine. Would you pls suggest a method for this purpose?

thanks in advance.

One way that you could do this is as follows. Note this assumes that the machine that you want to the popup display on has the xhost + or at a minimum xhost + <your host>. The window will exit when they hit return.

export DISPLAY=<their ip>:0
xterm -exec pg -p &quot;Hit Return to Exit&quot; myMessage.txt
