xwatchwin allows you to peek at a window on another X server.
|
|
To use it, you must specify the display name of the machine you want
|
|
to watch, then the name of the window on that machine.
|
|
Xwatchwin will attempt to connect with the X server
|
|
hostname:0.0, and if successful, will try to retrieve a copy of
|
|
the window in which you specified interest.
|
|
|
|
You may specify the window you want to watch either by name or by its
|
|
window id, usually a hexidecimal number. Usually specifying the
|
|
window by name is simpler, although not all windows have names
|
|
associated with them; in that case you must use the window id option.
|
|
|
|
If the window you want to watch is not in a viewable state,
|
|
xwatchwin will tell you so and exit. If while you are watching
|
|
a window it becomes 'unviewable', xwatchwin will wait until the
|
|
window becomes 'viewable' again.
|
|
|
|
xwatchwin was written as an aid to a class for people learning
|
|
to use X. The idea is that the instructor would type into an xterm
|
|
window on his/her display and the students would use xwatchwin
|
|
to see what the instructor typed. The students could then type the
|
|
same thing in their own terminal windows. Hopefully others will find
|
|
equally (if not more) constructive uses.
