VNC to view a window open on display :0
Hello all. I have some processes running at work on the physical machine that are going to take hours. I want to go home and then check the results that are displayed in a window on the physical machine ($DISPLAY is :0). It is a RH:EL machine and I can VNC into it from home via a secure tunnel. Is there any way for me to get a window on display :0 to show in a window on my VNC session (i.e. $DISPLAY is :2)?
Cheers. |

tools like pcAnywhere, but you better check with the IT folks - - this can be
a security issue. |

No way you can do it now
You can configure X to allow VNC connections to the real :0 display instead of the virtual VNC displays, but you should have done that before. You need to load the "vnc" module in X configuration and set up a password. Then restart X. What you could to is to grab a screenshot of :0 and look at that. Depending on the specific program you may be able to open another session using your home computer as the X server and get the window on your local screen. |

Thanks for the info. Someone from work actually came in over the weekend and snagged the required data for me because he wanted to run some other tests.
Cheers. |
