[TriLUG] Remote Desktop

[Ron Kelley via TriLUG]

How are you running your report (which command)?  Does it require a GUI or is it a command-line tool?  If it is a  GUI tool, you can use “ssh -X” to force the display back to your local linux box.

I do not need to access it from outside the building. (I just don't feel like walking down 4 flights of stairs whenever I need to create the file.) I've looked at RealVNC and while it certainly would do what I need, it just seems like overkill. If I have the other unit set up as the "server" with me as the "client" the "server" must be always running. On the occasions I need to access the unit there is no one at it to start some process for me. Everything must take place without human intervention.
