Q: If I have an older iMac that has DVI, is there any way to use it as a second display?

I would like to connet my 2015 MacBook to a 2008 iMac with a DVI port.  Is there any way to do this?  I have cabling from Thunderbolt to DVI, but nothing seems to get recognized and the Command-F2 does nothing.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), MacBook is El Capitan
