NAME
dtappsession - start a new Application Manager session
SYNOPSIS
/usr/dt/bin/dtappsession [hostname]
DESCRIPTION
dtappsession is a specialized version of the Xsession shell
script. It is an alternative to using the CDE remote login
that allows you to access a remote host without logging out
of your current CDE session. dtappsession starts a new
instance of the CDE Application Manager in its own
ToolTalkTM session. It can be used to remotely display the
Application Manager back to your local display after logging
in to a remote host with the rlogin(1) command.
A new, independent instance of ttsession(1) starts a simple
session management window. This window displays the title
remotehostname: Remote Administration
where remotehostname is the system that is being accessed.
The window also displays an Exit button. Clicking Exit ter-
minates the ToolTalk session and all windows that are part
of the session.
The Application Manager that is displayed can be used to
start remote CDE actions to run in this session. Exiting the
Application Manager does not terminate the session, and it
is not recommended. Clicking Exit is the recommended way to
end the session. To avoid confusing the remote CDE applica-
tions with local ones, it is recommended that a new CDE
workspace be created for clients in the remote session.
The hostname is not needed when the DISPLAY environment
variable is set to the local hostname on the remote host.
On a system that is configured with Trusted Extensions,
dtappsession can be used for remote administration by admin-
istrative roles that have the ability to log in to the
remote host.
dtappsession does not require any privilege, and it does not
need to run on a system that is configured with Trusted

Extensions. When installed in /usr/dt/bin on a Solaris sys-
tem, along with the startApp.ds file, dtappsession can be
used to administer the remote Solaris system from a local
system that is configured with Trusted Extensions. However,
in this case, the CDE workspace that is used for remote
display must be a normal workspace, rather than a role
workspace.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Remote Login and dtappsession

terminal window:
# rlogin remotehostname

BUGS
X11/CDE applications that do not register with the ToolTalk
session manager will not exit automatically when the session
is terminated. Such applications must be explicitly ter-
minated.
