Xdisplay is a simple script for managing default X DISPLAY and tracking position with ease.
XDisplay is a software that can help you know where you are and set the default display of your X system. The program checks if your DISPLAY is set, and if it is, the script returns it. If the display is not set, the software returns the last known value. If you want your display to get set automatically when you log into remote machines, XDisplay can be used in those environments.
When you run the software, the appropriate stderr messages are returned. This helps you become aware of your settings. XDisplay stores the display value in ~/.xdisplay.
To use XDisplay, you need to put the script in your desired location. For example, you can place it in your /bin/ folder. Afterward, you can use the following commands:
In csh:
setenv DISPLAY `xdisplay`
In sh:
export DISPLAY=`xdisplay`
Overall, XDisplay is a powerful and useful program that can make your life easier if you are using remote machines. It helps you keep track of your current display settings and ensures that your display is set automatically in the background.
