wrong shell syntax, that was ksh/bash syntax and the "#" prompt looks like you are in a shshell.DISPLAY=192.2.205.119:0.0 ; export DISPLAYworks in a bourne shell, echo $SHELL might tell you what shell you are in on your PC.tim

Thanks Tim for your response.

I changed the shell to bash and the error did not appear. However the GUI still not working:

# bash

bash-3.00# DISPLAY=192.2.205.119:0.0 ; export DISPLAY

bash-3.00# /usr/sbin/smc &

[1] 2230

bash-3.00#

It appears you are attempting to run the graphical

Solaris Management Console from a terminal which does

not have a suitable 'DISPLAY' environment. Please check

your 'DISPLAY' settings and that the user identity of

this terminal has access to the X server of this display.

[1]+ Exit 1/usr/sbin/smc

bash-3.00#

Do you have an X-server running on your pc? If its running windows you have to install a Xserver, such as Xming: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming .7/M.

good idea, start with something simple..you might have to do something on your pc to allow it to acceptconnections from a remote machine, I have no idea how but google suggests http://connectivity.hummingbird.com/support/nc/exceed/xauth.html?cks=ytim
