NAME
slweb - start the HP-UX hardware event viewer tool (a Web interface)
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/diag/contrib/slweb
[-h hostname][-F]
/usr/sbin/diag/contrib/slweb -c
/usr/sbin/diag/contrib/slweb -s {stop|startssl|status|restart}
DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX hardware event viewer tool (slweb
) can be used to display hardware events from log files or
raw hexadecimal word pairs.
The
slweb command starts the user interface. Once started, the help facility of
slweb is available and
can be used to learn more about
slweb by clicking on field labels or column headings.
The HP-UX hardware event viewer tool user interface uses a Web browser. Executing the
slweb com-
mand without any options performs the following tasks:
• create server certificates if needed,
• start the management Web server if it is not running,
• start a Web client (browser).
An attempt will be made to connect to a Netscape Web browser running on the X server defined by the
DISPLAY environment variable. If a running Netscape client is found, it will be used, otherwise a new
Netscape session will be initiated. This will only happen if the Netscape process is running the same sys-
tem as that referenced by the DISPLAY variable, unless the -F option is used.
If slweb is executed without any options, the server will stop automatically after a period of inactivity. If
the server is started explicitly using slweb -s startssl, it will run until the system is rebooted or
the server is stopped with slweb -s stop.
Options
The slweb recognizes the following options:
-h hostname Display events on a remote system (hostname), using a client on the local system. The
slweb Web server on the remote system must already be running.
-F Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways. Two security features are overrid-
den by the -F option.
The -F option forces the client browser to be used or started, even if the X-traffic between
the X-server and the Netscape browser is not secure.
If slweb is executed by privileged user with the -F option, a temporary login bypass key
will be generated. The bypass key allows the user to access the Web interface without hav-
ing to provide login information again.
Only use this option if you are sure the network traffic between the host where Netscape is
running, and the host in the DISPLAY variable is secure.
-c Forces the creation of new server certificates. This can be performed if the server’s
certificates expire, or if the security of the certificates has been compromised. When new
certificates are created, the slweb command will also restart the slweb Web server.
The -c option is only available to the privileged user, because it requires creation of an
SSL certificate.
-s {stop|startssl|status|restart}
The -s option is only available to the privileged user.
stop stops the running slweb Web server.
startssl starts the slweb Web server, if started this way, it will run until rebooted or
until stopped with slweb -s stop.
status displays the status of the slweb Web server.
restart stops and then starts (startssl) the slweb Web server.
