Administering your system with the UnixWare 7 Webtop

If you log in to the Webtop using a system administrator account, an administrator webtop page appears. The main administrator page lists the host name and operating system version of the UnixWare 7 system and provides links to the three main areas of the Webtop:

User Webtop

System administrators are given the same default user webtops as normal users; however, system administrators receive the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) as the default application on the user webtop to provide easy access to the full capabilities of the system.

System Troubleshooting

The System Troubleshooting section of the UnixWare 7 Webtop incorporates an easy-to- use graphical interface providing immediate information about possible problems with the system. The main System Troubleshooting page provides links to five individual Troubleshooting areas and indicates whether any problems currently exist in these areas. Each Troubleshooting area (File Volumes, File Sharing, Networks, Printers, and Processes) allows administrators to see information on the status of the system and to perform simple tasks to resolve problems. Where appropriate, the Troubleshooting areas contain links to SCOadmin managers for higher level problem-solving.

System Administration

The System Administration section of the UnixWare 7 Webtop allows system administrators to manage the UnixWare 7 system remotely using SCOadmin managers. The default Webtop contains links to various SCOadmin managers in a set of folders; however, the Webtop administrator can configure these folders to include links to any system administration tools.
