Running SoftBench on a Remote System

To run SoftBench remotely on another computer that has SoftBench C.06.0 or newer installed and display SoftBench on your local system, do the following:

1.On your local system, start the X Window System and execute the following command in a terminal window:

xhost remotehost

Where remotehost is the name of the system on which you want to run SoftBench.

2.Log in to remotehost and set your DISPLAY environment variable to the name of your local display.

3.Start SoftBench on remotehost from a command line: softbench

Integrating with CDE

When you install SoftBench, you automatically get a CDE integration. With the integration, you can start SoftBench from CDE Application Manager, and you can drag and drop files from CDE File Manager onto the SoftBench toolbar. However, dragging and dropping files does not make them project files.

Stopping SoftBench

You can stop individual SoftBench tools, or you can stop SoftBench and all tools associated with the SoftBench session:
