My usecase: User opertes on Server1 station. He can use ssh or whatever to connect with Remote Station and start some application on it and display it on his station (Server1). Now user has to change his place and operate on Server2. I know that he can start new instance of application and display it on Server2. But I want to dispaly the same running instane of application on Server2. Is it possible? How to do that? enter image description here

  • How does the user connect to Server 1 in the first place? ssh -Y, vnc, nx? – Sebastian Sep 10 '14 at 11:10
  • Also, what to you mean by "change his place". Does he physically need to relocate? Or does he remain at X CLIENT? – Sebastian Sep 10 '14 at 11:11
  • @Sebastian User physically sitting at the Server1 I named it Server1 because it is X server."Change his place" means he physsicaly need to relocate. – Mariusz Sep 10 '14 at 11:45

I don't think you can reattach if the application has already been started in X.

But maybe the following questions help?

xpra

Detach/reattach an application run on X over SSH?

Reattach to lost X11 session

Also, VNC could be a solution for you. But all these applications require that you restart the gui application on Server1
