13 dtappsession is a specialized version of the Xsession shell script. It
14 is an alternative to using the CDE remote login that allows you to
15 access a remote host without logging out of your current CDE session.
16 dtappsession starts a new instance of the CDE Application Manager in
17 its own ToolTalkTM session. It can be used to remotely display the
18 Application Manager back to your local display after logging in to a
19 remote host with the rlogin(1) command.
20 A new, independent instance of ttsession(1) starts a simple session
23 management window. This window displays the title
24 remote_hostname: Remote Administration
26 where remote_hostname is the system that is being accessed. The window
30 also displays an Exit button. Clicking Exit terminates the ToolTalk
31 session and all windows that are part of the session.
32 The Application Manager that is displayed can be used to start remote
35 CDE actions to run in this session. Exiting the Application Manager
36 does not terminate the session, and it is not recommended. Clicking
37 Exit is the recommended way to end the session. To avoid confusing the
38 remote CDE applications with local ones, it is recommended that a new
39 CDE workspace be created for clients in the remote session.
40 The hostname is not needed when the DISPLAY environment variable is set
43 to the local hostname on the remote host.
44 On a system that is configured with Trusted Extensions, dtappsession
47 can be used for remote administration by administrative roles that have
48 the ability to log in to the remote host.
49 dtappsession does not require any privilege, and it does not need to
52 run on a system that is configured with Trusted Extensions. When
53 installed in /usr/dt/bin on a Solaris system, along with the star‐
54 tApp.ds file, dtappsession can be used to administer the remote Solaris
55 system from a local system that is configured with Trusted Extensions.
56 However, in this case, the CDE workspace that is used for remote dis‐
57 play must be a normal workspace, rather than a role workspace.

60 Example 1 Remote Login and dtappsession
61 After creating a new CDE workspace, type the following in a terminal
64 window:
65 # rlogin remote_hostname
68 password: /*type the remote password*/
69 # dtappsession local_hostname /* on the remote host */

94 X11/CDE applications that do not register with the ToolTalk session
95 manager will not exit automatically when the session is terminated.
96 Such applications must be explicitly terminated.
