3.5.1 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 2: Matrix Administration 27

Update an Existing .matrixrc File to Use New Features

If your .matrixrc file was used in a Matrix Server release earlier than 3.5.0

and has single servers configured, you will need to create a bookmark

entry for the matrix in order to use the “synchronize bookmarks” feature.

To do this, take one of these steps:

• Click the Add button on the Matrix Server Connect window to add a

new bookmark. On the Add Bookmark window, specify a server and

the name of the matrix. (After the bookmark is created, you can delete

the single-server entries in the .matrixrc file.)

• Remove the server entries from the .matrixrc file. Then specify one of

the servers on the Matrix Server Connect window. When the

Authentication Parameters dialog appears, check “Add to

Bookmarks.”

Including passwords in the .matrixrc file is now optional. You can remove

the passwords from your file if desired, or select the bookmark entry on

the Connect window and click Reset.

For more information about the .matrixrc file, see the Command Reference.

Disconnect from a Matrix

To close the Management Console window for the current server, either

select File > Disconnect or click the Disconnect icon on the toolbar. You

can then choose to log into another matrix, to reconnect or configure the

current matrix, or to exit the Management Console.

Exit a Management Console Session

To end a console session, select File > Exit or click the Disconnect icon and

then select Exit Console. The matrix will continue to operate after you

disconnect from it. You do not need to have an open Management

Console connection to a matrix.
