Hi all:

I'm using Cygwin and was wondering if someone could tell me the command for executing the Linux x-windows? Cygwin is on my laptop and I have Debian on a Linux server, therefore I wish to open up the Linux on server via laptop?

p.s. a silly question, therefore I'm not sure anyone will be able to answer! But here goes: I was once working with a programmer who was working on an Oracle database via a VPN. He was using a scripting shell to perform SQL commands to the database i.e. creating tables/users etc. Is this common and is it easy to set-up?

Cheers

1) You need cygwin/X.

2) Yes it's normal to use scripts to perform DDL/DML on a database and to set-up just write the scripts!

Thanks for that.

What would the command be to open Linux server on laptop via Cygwin?

Thanks

xterm?

Found it, its: X -broadcast -fullscreen

BUT you need to enable the XDM to listen for the broadcasts.

Thanks for help
