- The environment variable DISPLAY does not seem to be set by epoch.
-
- IE running 'rsh <host> epoch -display <display>' does not have DISPLAY
- set in the environment.
-
- I make use of the DISPLAY env var by a modified emacs server program
- which creates the unix socket name by <homedir>/.<hostname>-<display>,
- but unfortuately without the DISPLAY env var I seem to be stuck.
-
- I was hunting around the epoch source a little and found XD_display_name,
- but can not spend enough time playing (real work gets in the way) to
- fully understand where I can do a Fsetenv().
-
- Any and all help will be appreciated.
-
- BTW, if you are interested, I could make my changes to the emacs server
- strategy and my support programs available; though I'm not sure if anyone
- else would find it useful.
-
- Thanks.
