When I want to run the Database Manager tool, I may be connecting through Putty+XMing. The run.sh script only runs when the server starts and setting the DISPLAY variable there only affects the shell environment that the init.d script uses to launch the run.sh script. So with the solution you suggest, would I not have to know at server startup what IP address I was going to be connecting from at a later time, code it into the run.sh script, and not be able to connect from any other IP address?
