RE: need GUI connect-to-host client

["Thomas Chadwick" <j_tetazoo at hotmail dot com>]

I'd think a perfectly acceptable solution would be to create individual 
Windows shortcuts that run the types of clients you're talking about.

For instance, if you put the following in a Windows shortcut, it will use 
rsh to launch "xclient" on "remotehost" and redirect it back to the XWin 
server on "localhost" (of course, you'll want to make sure you've started 
XWin before running this shortcut):

C:\cygwin\bin\rsh.exe remotehost "xclient -display localhost:0"

Also, this assumes you've set up rsh properly (consult "man rsh" on 
remotehost for guidance).


If you want to eliminate the empty command-prompt window that results from 
the above shortcut, use run.exe thus:

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe /bin/rsh remotehost "xclient -display 
localhost:0"

However, in order for this to work, you'll have to add C:\cygwin\bin to your 
Windows path, otherwise it'll complain that it can't find "cygwin1.dll'.  
[Alternatively, you can just copy "run.exe" from c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin to 
c:\cygwin\bin]
