2.1.2 Accessing the SysMan Tools
The SysMan applications are also available in the DECwindows Motif and
base X Windows graphical environments. In CDE, the SysMan applications
are available in the Application Manager. You can access the
Application Manager from the CDE Front Panel by clicking on its icon.
The SysMan applications are organized into five groups within the
System_Admin group. Double click on the System_Admin group to access
the SysMan Configuration Checklist, the Welcome to SysMan
online help volume, and the five application groups.
Online help is available for the SysMan applications without running the
applications. Click on the Help Manager icon on the CDE front panel to
display the online help browser. The browser includes help families for
CDE, the CDE Desktop, and Tru64 UNIX System Management.
In DECwindows, the SysMan applications are listed in the Session
Manager’s Options menu. You can use the Applications
Definitions menu item to add frequently used SysMan applications to
the Applications menu. You can also customize your CDE workspace
with the Create Action utility in the Desktop_Apps folder. Customized
icons enable you to start SysMan applications directly from the workspace.
In other X Windows environments, the SysMan applications can be invoked
from the command line. See the sysman_intro
(8X) reference page for a
list of the SysMan applications. This reference page also describes how to
display the online help browser in graphical environments other than CDE.
To support nongraphical (terminal) environments, some SysMan
applications offer command line and question and answer interfaces. The
following applications have a command line interface. A single command
starts the application, which then performs the actions specified by the
command-line arguments.
