NAME

SYNOPSIS
emsweb [ -F ][-b
]
emsweb -t
DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool (emsweb
) is used to monitor resource instances and manages
requests created on these instances.
The HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool provides both Web-based and terminal user interface. The
Web-based interface is launched through the HP System Management Homepage.
Superuser privileges are required to access the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool. A user who does
not have superuser privileges has read-only access to the requests area in the HP-UX Event Monitoring
Service tool and cannot modify requests.
An attempt will be made to connect to a Mozilla/Netscape Web browser running on the X server defined
by the DISPLAY environment variable. If a running Mozilla/Netscape client is found, it will be used, oth-
erwise a new Mozilla/Netscape session will be initiated. This will only happen if the Mozilla/Netscape
process is running in the same system as that referenced by the DISPLAY variable, unless the -F option
is used.
Note: By default, the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool (
emsweb) invokes the Mozilla Web browser.
If you want to support any other browser (Netscape), set the $BROWSER environment variable as
shown below:
export BROWSER=/opt/netscape/netscape
The terminal user interface is invoked if any of the following conditions are true:
• The command
/usr/sbin/emsweb
is invoked with the -t option.
• The
DISPLAY environment variable is not set.
The Web-based interface is launched if all the following conditions are true:
• The command
/usr/sbin/emsweb
is invoked with -F option.
• The
DISPLAY environment variable is set.
• The command
/opt/hpsmh/lbin/samweb
is available on the system.
If the Web-based interface cannot be launched,
emsweb
invokes the terminal user interface.
Options
emsweb recognizes the following options:
-F Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
The
-F option forces the client browser to be used or started, even when the X-traffic
between the X-server and the Mozilla browser is not secure.
Use this option only when you are sure the network traffic between the host where
Mozilla is running and the host in the DISPLAY variable is secure.
If
emsweb cannot start the Web browser, the terminal interface is started.
When the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service Web interface is invoked by SAM, the
-F
option is used.
-b If a privileged user (root) executes the emsweb command with the -b option, a tem-
porary login bypass key is generated. The bypass key enables the user to access the Web
interface without having to provide login information again.
When the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service Web interface is invoked by SAM, the
-b
option is used.
-t Opens the terminal interface for managing requests created to monitor resource
instances regardless of the current setting of the DISPLAY environment variable.
