xmsg Problem ? -- Unable to Display Message ?.

[Sriram]

Hi,
I have a small problem.

I have a daemon process that starts at system bootup.

When i send a packet to the daemon process.
It executes an shell script.


The shell script contains a xmsg "Hello"


The problem is The message is not getting printed if the daemon
process
starts at system bootup.


If i start the daemon process as the child of the shell. (ie after
system has booted)


I get the message.


I dont know what is the problem ?.


Please Advice.


Regards,
Sriram

That is because the daemon is not authorized to access the X display,

When you start the daemon process this way it knows who you are (i.e.
the path of your home directory) and it will retrieve authorisation
credentials from a file in your home directory, typically ~/.Xauthority.
