Abstract: The chapter describes X Windows interoperability with OpenVMS and Linux. There are two parts to display OpenVMS applications on a Linux workstation. The first part is to log in to the Linux workstation and set security to accept remote display from OpenVMS applications. The second part is to telnet to the OpenVMS workstation, redirect X Windows output to the Linux machine, and then run the application. X Windows is an expanding and budding part of workstations and high-end servers even 15 years after its inception. Standard support and tools that work among multiple operating systems simplify and reduce the complexity of displaying graphics and running applications. This gives a choice for each task: whether to use a point-and-click graphical user interfaces (GUI) application or a command-driven CLI. Graphics make the job intuitive and easy to visualize, while command lines make scripting and repetition easy for many of the tasks server managers are asked to automate. Interoperability among multiple operating systems will be the hallmark of all future workstations and servers.
