Command Console
The Command Console section defines a command console that runs a defined
command or Unix shell script when selected. For example, the Command
Console can be used to:
ƒ Provide Windows NT console consolidation using the VNC product (see
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc) and Netscape Navigator. The VNC
executable must be configured on the NT workstation or server. The VNC X-
windows viewer or a Java-capable browser such as Netscape Navigator must be
installed on the MCC. Notes and examples on this implementation are given
later in this section.
ƒ Run an X windows application on the local MCC host.
ƒ Run an X windows application on a remote host.
When the command console starts, a message in the format “Starting Command
Console ” appears in the Execution Log.
Note: A Command Console permits user updates, and it is not possible to
define read-only access.
