Setting the DISPLAY Environment Variable

To set the DISPLAY environment variable in a C shell (csh), issue the following command, where workstation is the node name of your workstation:

   setenv DISPLAY workstation:0.0

To set the DISPLAY environment variable in a Bourne shell (sh), issue the following commands, where workstation is the node name of your workstation:

   DISPLAY=workstation:0.0
   export DISPLAY
Note: For Version 2.1A your workstation should be a Digital UNIX node running the Common Desktop Environment (CDE). Nodes running other operating systems and other window managers might work, but only Digital UNIX and CDE have had full quality assurance testing for Performance Manager.

If you are running Performance Manager remotely, be sure your workstation supports the GUI display.
