Figure 38: Asking for
Password
Using Remote Display
You can optionally add any command-line options that you would use if
you were running on the remote system. You can also add any commandline
options that your program requires.
If the host machine is not directly connected to the machine upon which
you are running the Client, you must specify the route Remote Display will
take to the remote host.
Next, press the Launch Debug Session button. In a moment, you’ll see a
window that asks for your password. (See Figure 38.)
Depending upon the way you are connecting, you may be prompted twice
for your password. The first prompt occurs when Remote Display is searching
ports on a remote system. The second may or may not appear depending
upon the way you access the remote host. You can often simplify logging
in by using a public key file.
After you enter your remote host password, a window opens on the local
Client system. This window contains TotalView as well as an xterm running
on the remote host that you can use to enter operating system and other
commands. If you do not add an executable name, TotalView displays its
File > New Program dialog box. If you do enter a name, .
When you are done using TotalView, go back to the Client and terminate
the Viewer and Server by pressing the End Debug Session button. (The
Launch Debug Session button changes to this button after you launch the
session.) A second method is to click the close button on the Viewer’s window.
This removes the Viewer Window but does not end the debugging session.
You still need to select the Client’s End Debug Session button. The
second method might seem less useful as you still need to click the End
Debug Session button. However, as your desktop may have many windows
running on it, this can be the easier way because the Viewer often obscures
the Client.
Naming Intermediate Hosts
If the Client system does not have direct access to the remote host, you
must specify the path to the remote host. The order in which you enter
hosts is the path Remote Display uses to reach your remote host. Buttons
immediately to the left of this area let you change the order, and add, and
delete lines.
