[Former Member]

Hi Everybody,

i am new to sap on linux and want to start my TREXAdmin.sh. if i try it with ./TREXAdmin.sh with the siduser of the trex installation i get the mesage Environmant variable DISPLAY is not set. I try to set it with: * export DISPLAY=172.xx.xx.xx:0.0 but get the message export: Command not found.

regards,

Depending on which shell you are in you have to use the command

export DISPLAY=172.xx.xx.xx:0.0 (I think this is for the Bash shell)

or

setenv DISPLAY 172.xx.xx.xx:0.0

So probably you have to use the setenv command, or go to another shell.

Kind regards

Google is your friend.

Cygwin is a Unix-like environment for Windows including an X-Server.
