[comp.windows.x] How to get the proper display

mende@athos.rutgers.edu (Bob Mende) (06/21/89)

I dont know if this has been discussed before, but...  I have a program
that is run on machine a where a user is logged in, but not by the user
(from inetd).  I would like this program to open a window on the users
DISPLAY if (s)he has one set.  Is there any accepted way to get this
information.  I can use ps -e to get the enviroment, but there must be a
easier way.  Assume all I have to start with is a username and the tty
(s)he is on.
