Restoring Remote Applications

Applications running on remote systems will be restored by Session Manager if either of the following conditions are met.

The local and remote systems are configured properly to use actions to run remote applications. This allows Session Manager to use the SPCD to start the remote application.
Or, the local host can access the application using remsh. For this to happen, both of these conditions must be met:
- The remote system lists the local system in its/HomeDirectory/.rhosts file.
- The local system permits the remote system to use its display. This is done in the local system's /etc/X*.hosts file.

An application started during a session may not be restarted at the next session if:

The xhost permission was acquired using the xhost command prior to running the application. The xhost permission must be supplied by the /etc/X*.hosts file.
The application was started by logging into the remote system (using telnet or rlogin). The local host may not have .rhost permission on the remote host.
