| Dominique,
Console Manager doesnt really support the use of the -display
argument. Now, having said this, it appears that because we
are passing the argv, argc values to our XtAppInitialize you
get your c3 displayed to the correct display, also, as a
consequence, because we dont do anything with the -display (and
neither does the X toolkit apparently), any subsequent commands
go to your default display (as defined by your DISPLAY environment
variable).
A workaround for this would be to execute a shell script with your
rsh command, in the shell script define the DISPLAY environment
variable then invoke the c3.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Phil

rsh xxxx -l root "DISPLAY=xxx:0;export DISPLAY; console -c3 " works too,
but most X applications do support the -display variable.
I was only pointing at an inconsistency in Console Manager. Either
-display is supported, and then it needs to work as assumed, or
you just ignore the flag, but then completely.
But I wouldn't consider the problem as a show-stopper ;-)

| Dominique,
We will take a look at this if we get time. But if this is your
only complaint about the product, we must be doing OK ;-)
Cheers,

| Dominique,
The code has been updated to support the -display option for
Ultrix. It's unclear at this point as to whether or not this will
be officially supported. We'd still have to add the functionality to
VMS, by putting in a command line option.
Cheers,
Dave

| 101.3 :
Up to know it's my only problem...though it has been a struggle
to get consoles to IBM,SUN and HP ( see the topic Marc Sybertz entered
about this ;-) )
101.4 :
I was pretty sure it was a VMS command line option issue ;-)

| Dominique,
What types of problems are you seeing with getting the displays
through to the IBM,SUN and HP systems? Is there anything we do to
help make this work? If you're having problems, others will too.
The very least we could/should do is to provide some documentation.
Cheers,
Dave

As dominique pointed out, the summarize of the tests we did with IBM, HP and SUN
have been put in this note.
We don't have the machines anymore (we loaned them for a fair) so that we don't
have problems anymore ;-)
By the way, I put in the sun.com news conference the question about redirecting
the SUN console while still using the X display but did not received any answer
until today !
Marc.
