2 x6530 Run Command and
Customizing Options
082628 Tandem Computers Incorporated 2–1
This section is for system administrators, experienced with the X Window System and
UNIX, who will set up x6530 for users. References to “user” mean a person using a
workstation with an X server who may be running x6530 locally or who may access a
remote machine to run x6530; references to “you” mean the system administrator.
Running x6530 means executing a run command at the UNIX workstation where
x6530 resides. This section describes the format and options of the x6530 run
command, and how to conveniently issue the run command from workstations on the
TCP/IP network.
Like other X clients, x6530 can be customized. You can use any combination of the
following methods to change the way x6530 runs, the way it displays the window, and
the way it handles the characters inside the window:
Use command line options with an x6530 run command.
Use resource and class variables.
Use an x6530 custom menu.
Most command line options, resource and class variables, and the x6530 custom menu
are explained in the following subsections.
x6530 Run Command You run x6530 by issuing a command at the workstation where it resides. The format
of the run command is:
x6530 host-name [ option ... ]
host-name
is the name of the Tandem host the user wants to access. This name is defined in
the TCP/IP HOSTS file. See your network administrator for valid names.
option
is any of the standard X Toolkit command line options and those listed in
Table 2-1. Most options can also be stored as resource or class variables in the
.Xdefaults file in a user’s home directory on the workstation where x6530 resides;
these options are automatically set when x6530 is started (see “Resource and Class
Variables,”later in this section). For more information on the X Toolkit standard
command line options, see the X Window System User’s Guide.
