Re: How to remotely log in and execute a *GUI* program


Larry Hall (Cygwin) a écrit :

I'm recycling this thread to ask a similar question. Let's say that
i have a windows box with sshd servicable on it.

A can remotely launch command on the win box with ssh (ssh user@host.domain.com "command args"). But what if the "command" is
supposed to be a graphical program (in my case a popup created
with AutoIt that display a message)?


"command" is launched and running but nothing is displayed on the screen, the gui application is just running in background.

Is there any way to make this program displaying on the current windows session? Note: in my case the ssh user is admin and the session user is user-only.

Any help?


Reinstall 'sshd' specifying the '-i' flag to 'cygrunsrv' or edit the current service under "Administrative Tools"->"Services" and check "Allow service to interact with desktop" in the "Log On" tab of the service's "Properties". Please note that this will display the
program on the server, not the client.

Yes, displaying on the server is the goal.


Running X programs doesn't require this dance, though I assume you
were referring to Windows apps.

Yes, this is a windows app completely independant of Cygwin.


Anyway, your trick is working like a charm, thanks a lot!
