Log into the server via ssh, set DISPLAY to point back to your workstation, and any client you start will display on the workstation. If you are using ssh with X forwarding enabled, that takes care of everything for you. Otherwise, you may have to set up security on your server. gkrellm is a GUI system monitoring tool. When doing admin duties for a network with mutliple servers that I'm not using, I like to have a gkrellm from each client open on my desktop. Just a clock is sufficient, and lets me monitor that the system times are properly synced. If it stops, or gets badly behind, or vanishes - something is wrong, and I need to deal with that system. You can monitor configure gkrellm to monitor a lot of things, though. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
