ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.5)
______________________________________________________________________
Concept: Use of ce from a remote host.
DESCRIPTION:
Since ARPUS/ce is based on the X Window System standard, it
exploits the DISPLAY environment variable just as most other X
Window System applications do.
To ease the process of connecting a remote ce session to the
local display, you can use the environment variable CEHOST
(defined by ce automatically) along with the following key
definition to cause remote ce sessions to display on the local
node. The instructions here assume that you connected to the
remote system from a ceterm session on the local host via telnet
or rlogin.
Add the following key definition to your .Cekeys file. (First
check to see if the definition is already there ... it may have
been added automatically by the ce installation process). The key
definition must appear on a single line even though in the text
below it appears on multiple lines.
kd *h env CEHOST;tdmo;tl;/=/;ar;dr;tr;xc -l host;
ti;tl;xd -l junk;es 'DISPLAY=';xp host;tr;
es ';export DISPLAY';en ke
NOTE:
If "-autovt yes" is being used in Ce release 2.2, the
key definition for telnet should be as below so it works in vt100
mode. Again, the key definition needs to be on a single line.
kd *F1 env CEHOST;tdmo;tl;/=/;ar;dr;tr;xc -l host;tmw;
es 'DISPLAY=';xp host;es ';export DISPLAY';er 0d ke
Once this key definition is in effect, you can telnet to a remote
host from within a ceterm window, press <mod1>-h (usually Alt-h),
and observe that environment variable assignment statement is
inserted into the ceterm's input pad and executed. Notice that
the statement is an assignment to DISPLAY which gives DISPLAY the
name of the host from which the telnet command was executed. Now
instead of having to type 'ce -display my_host:0.0 my_file', you
simply need to type 'ce my_file', and the local display will be
used.
You may have to make slight changes to the above key definition
if you are using a command shell other than the Korn shell or
Bourne shell.
