Re: How to remotely log in and execute a *GUI* program


Brian Mathis a écrit :
in,

Just to say that I found a partial solution, by copying the ssh login keys generated on Cygwin on the Windows box to the .ssh directory on the remote Linux box, and then executing from a local Cygwin xterm: DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 ssh -Y -C -q user@remote-machine "command"

But is there a way to do it by running a Cygwin script on the Windows box?
IIUUC, yes, just install the ssh server on your Cygwin/Windows box.
The instructions are here:

/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README

There's not need for an SSH server on the Windows box. You only need the client, as the login is going from Windows to Linux.

To execute a script instead of xterm, just run the script instead! :)
In your command above, forget the "DISPLAY" stuff and put whatever the
name of the command you want to run inside "command".

I'm recycling this thread to ask a similar question. Let's say that i have a windows box with sshd servicable on it.


A can remotely launch command on the win box with ssh (ssh user@host.domain.com "command args"). But what if the "command" is supposed to be a graphical program (in my case a popup created with AutoIt that display a message)?

"command" is launched and running but nothing is displayed on the screen, the gui application is just running in background.

Is there any way to make this program displaying on the current windows session? Note: in my case the ssh user is admin and the session user is user-only.

Any help?

All the best,

Nicolas
