Administering your system with SCOadmin

Administering your system with SCOadmin

SCOadmin is a series of management applications (or ``managers'') that help you configure and maintain your system. The managers can be run in graphical or character mode.

You can access SCOadmin managers in four ways:

Desktop mode

Invoke the SCOadmin launcher from the desktop. Choose SCOadmin from the SCO menu (above the SCO logo) on the CDE desktop. You can also configure Panorama to launch SCOadmin and other applications from the root menu. See pmwm(X1) for more information.

Graphical mode

Use the scoadmin(1M) command to invoke the SCOadmin launcher or run an individual manager in a terminal window.

Webtop mode

(For systems running the UnixWare 7 Webtop only) Access SCOadmin managers remotely via the web:

http://hostname/webtop

Log in to the UnixWare 7 Webtop as root (or any other account that has been given administrative privileges) and click System Administration. For more information about the UnixWare 7 Webtop and its capabilities, see ``The UnixWare 7 Webtop''.

Character mode

Use the scoadmin command to run the SCOadmin launcher or an individual manager on a character display. See ``Starting SCOadmin from the command line'' and ``Using SCOadmin in character mode''.

Most SCOadmin managers are grouped under folders (directories) that correspond to an administrative area.

Most SCOadmin managers permit you to administer systems across the network with the Host Open Host selection as as described in ``Administering other systems with SCOadmin''.
