Remote X11 forwarding for AIX in command line.
Most of the Unix administrators love to work with command line
and it is the most convenient way to work with Unix systems. There were occasions
where we had to invoke the GUI for some applications to work with it like, invoke
a Firefox browser to browse the internet through Unix systems, install an
application in GUI mode etc.
Here I am going to describe how can we address such situations
by invoking GUI over CLI.
Assumptions:
- You have an AIX system with remote
connection through ssh.
- You need to invoke the GUI of an
application through Xming or MobaXterm – a DISPLAY server.
X Window in AIX server
Minimum
installation for X Window includes below filesets:
X11.base.lib
X11.base.rte
X11.apps.config
X11.apps.clients (optional to run xclock program – in this case,
just for testing purpose)
Install
the above-mentioned packages to invoke the GUI remotely through command line.
Connect through SSH
X11 port forwarding
On
the AIX server check that ssh X11 forwarding requests are enabled.
# grep X11Forwarding /etc/ssh/sshd_config
X11Forwarding yes
If
not enabled yet, then enable it and restart the SSH service. Restarting the SSH
service is not going to interrupt the current session and it will apply the new
configuration on the new sessions of SSH.
# stopsrc –s sshd
# startsrc –s sshd
Invoke GUI using
PuTTy.
PuTTy
is the most common tool used for connecting the Unix servers remotely. If you
have any X Window applications installed in your local windows server, you can
use PuTTy to invoke the GUI.
Note:-
Install x window server application in your Windows system. Eg. Xming.
One
of the download links for Xming is here. You may download it
from here and install in your windows system before connecting the AIX server
through PuTTy. Once it is installed, make sure that the Xming application is
started in the windows machine. You may see an icon like below in the system
tray.
Now
connect from your windows server through putty by enabling the X11 forwarding
option as shown in the below screenshots.
Once
you logged in to the server, issue the ‘xclock’ command and see that the XCLOCK
GUI popped up in your windows system.
Invoke GUI using MobaXterm.
In
case you can’t install Xming in your local windows machine, we have an alternate
method to use MobaXterm to invoke the GUY through command line. You may download
MobaXterm from here and
start using it like PuTTy. Below screenshots helps you to access GUI from CLI.
·
Open MobaXterm.
·
Open an SSH session and provide the
Remote host details.
·
Click on Advanced SSH settings and
enable X11 forwarding. Once you enabled it click on OK button to connect the
server.
·
Upon login you will see the display
configuration like below. Now you are good to issue the xclock command to see
the system clock.
Enjoy
😊.
