HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Configuration Management

NOTE: The -t option is not available for /usr/sbin/smh.
If the X Window interface is not available, the modules use the alternate text graphic
display.
• To start text-based HP SMH without the X Window interface, you must unset the
DISPLAY environment variable. For example, you can enter the following:
# ( unset DISPLAY ; /usr/sbin/smh )
This unsets the DISPLAY variable while HP SMH executes. When HP SMH ends,
the value of DISPLAY is restored. Notice the enclosing parentheses and the
semicolon between the commands.
Similarly, you can start the modules without the X Window interface. For example,
# ( unset DISPLAY ; /usr/sbin/ugweb )
Giving Users Limited Access to Text-Based HP SMH
As system administrator, you can give limited text-based HP SMH access to
nonsuperusers individually by user name and collectively by primary group name.
NOTE: The privileges assigned to users and groups by the text-based restricted HP
SMH do not apply to the web-based HP SMH.
1. Activate Restricted HP SMH.
# /usr/sbin/smh -r
2. You can assign text-based HP SMH privileges by user and by group. You can
toggle between the lists of defined users and groups with the u and g keys,
respectively.
3. To select a user or group, move the highlight to that entry and press Enter. The
list of text-based HP SMH areas is displayed.
