The XTrap package (including a server/library extension and sample client programs) is well suited for this task. In fact, the sample programs can be used to do exactly what you describe. The XTrap kit is available via anonomous ftp from both gatekeeper.dec.com and expo.lcs.mit.edu in: gatekeeper.dec.com pub/X11/contrib/XTrap_v31.tar.Z expo.lcs.mit.edu contrib/XTrap_v31.tar.Z To replicate the actions of one workstation on another, use: $ XTrapOut -e | (DISPLAY=othermachine:0 XTrapIn -e) To output to multiple workstations, you will need to add a script in the middle which reads in information and then passes it along to a list of machines (ksh or perl is well suited for this). - Marc -- =========================================================================== Marc Evans - WB1GRH - evans@decvax.DEC.COM | Synergytics (603)635-8876 Unix and X Software Contractor | 21 Hinds Ln, Pelham, NH 03076 ===========================================================================
