Korean Solaris User's Guide

Appendix C Running Networked Applications

You can run Korean localized applications on a remote machine as explained in Appendix C, "Networked Applications," in Solaris Advanced User's Guide. That guide describes the advanced features of the OpenWindows environment that enable you to run applications that reside on another machine on your network.

Note -

It is not possible to run networked applications as described in this appendix with the ko.UTF-8 locale.

Note -

Most users do not need to read this appendix. If you want to explore running networked applications, ask your system administrator about special applications possibly available on your network.

Applications running on Korean OpenWindows 2.x can be displayed remotely on an Korean OpenWindows 3.x system. Korean OpenWindows 3.x applications may not be able to be displayed remotely in an Korean OpenWindows 2.x environment because not all 3.x system fonts are available in 2.x environments.

Instructions for Running Networked Applications

You must follow the information and directions in Appendix C, "Networked Applications," in Solaris Advanced User's Guide, which you should read thoroughly. You must additionally make the following adjustments to enable operation of the Korean features of the Korean OpenWindows environment.

Setting Required Environment Variables

To run a networked application on a remote machine you must set your environment variables correctly, as follows:

The DISPLAY environment variable in your shell on the remote machine must be set to your local screen
The LANG environment variable in your shell on the remote machine must be set to ko.
If the OpenWindows libraries have not been installed in the standard /usr/lib or /usr/local shared library directories, you must set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the appropriate directory ($OPENWINHOME/lib)

Sample Command Sequences for Remote Operation

How to Display Remote OpenWindows V2.x on a Local OpenWindows V3.x System

The following sequence of commands is an example of starting up a Shell Tool on a remote Korean Solaris 1.x (including Korean OpenWindows 2.x) machine. In this example, your local machine is running Solaris 2.x, including Korean OpenWindows 3.x, and the remote machine, where you start up the Shell Tool, has Korean Solaris 1.x, including Korean OpenWindows 2.x:

Type the following command.
local_machine% xhost +remote_machine

local_machine% rlogin remote_machine

local_machine% telnet remote_machine

Set the language locale on the remote machine.
remote_machine% setenv LANG korean

Set the remote machine to display on your local machine.
remote_machine% setenv DISPLAY local_machine:0.0

Set the OpenWindows environment home directory.

remote_machine% setenv OPENWINHOME /usr/openwin

Set the path to the OpenWindows LD library.

remote_machine% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $OPENWINHOME/lib

Start up the OpenWindows application, for example Shell Tool:
remote_machine% $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/shelltool -lc_basiclocale \oldlocale -lc_inputlang oldlocale -lc_displaylang oldlocale
To run a different application, use that application's command in place of shelltool.

How to Display Remote OpenWindows V3.x on a Local OpenWindows V2.x System

The following sequence of commands is an example of starting up a Shell Tool on a remote Korean Solaris 2.x (including Korean OpenWindows 3.x) machine from your local machine which is running Korean Solaris 1.x (including Korean OpenWindows 2.x). In this example, the remote machine, where you start up the Shell Tool, has only Korean OpenWindows 3.x.

Make a directory on the Korean Solaris 2.x machine.
local_machine% mkdir /home/fonts

Change directory.
local_machine% cd /home/fonts

Create Compat.list and Families.list.

local_machine% cat > /home/fonts/Compat.list
/-b&h-lucindatypewriter-medium-r-normal-asian-14-140-72-72-m-70\
-iso8859-1 /hnggthr _FontDirectorySYN
^D
local_machine% bldfamily

Add directory to server font path.
local_machine% xset +fp /home/fonts

Allow server access from the remote machine.
local_machine% xhost +remote_machine

local_machine% rlogin remote_machine

local_machine% telnet remote_machine

Set the language locale on the remote machine.
remote_machine% setenv LANG ko

Set the remote machine to display on your local machine.
remote_machine% setenv DISPLAY local_machine:0.0

Set the OpenWindows environment home directory.

remote_machine% setenv OPENWINHOME /usr/openwin

Set the path to the Korean OpenWindows LD library.

remote_machine% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $OPENWINHOME/lib

Start the htt X input method server.
remote_machine% $OPENWINHOME/bin/htt &

Start the OpenWindows application you want, for example, Shell Tool:
remote_machine% $OPENWINHOME/bin/shelltool
In XView-based applications you do not need to give an explicit font set definition.
