Running Mosaic remotely


If the machine you are using does not have Mosaic on it, you can run Mosaic remotely under X windows by doing a remote login (rlogin) to another machine, running Mosaic there, and displaying the Mosaic window on your machine. For example, you can rlogin to one of the NPAC machines (e.g. nova, oldnova, spica, etc) and run Mosaic there.

To do this on nova, for example, first type:

   xhost + nova.npac.syr.edu 
This gives permission for the remote machine to display an X window on your machine.
Now remote login to the machine, entering your NPAC username and password:
   rlogin nova.npac.syr.edu 
Then tell the remote machine that you want the Mosaic window displayed on your screen. For example, if you are on a machine called cornwall:
   setenv DISPLAY cornwall.syr.edu:0 
Now run Mosaic:
   Mosaic & 
The Mosaic window should now appear on your screen.
