twm: Connect to a specific X server.

$ twm -display ${display}

try on your machine

The command "twm -display ${display}" launches the twm window manager on a specified X display.

Here's a breakdown of the command components:

twm: This is the executable file name for the Tab Window Manager (twm). twm is a simple window manager for the X Window System that provides basic functionality like window decorations, title bars, and basic window controls.
-display ${display}: This is an option flag for the twm command. The "-display" flag is used to specify the X display to which twm should connect. The ${display} variable should be replaced with the actual display specification, typically in the format of "hostname:display_number.screen_number".

By providing a specific display to the twm command, you can run the window manager on a remote machine or on a specific screen if multiple displays are available.
