XDMC (EXECUTE_DM_COMMAND) -- Execute a DM command from the Shell.
usage:  XDMC dm_command [command arguments]


FORMAT

  XDMC dm_command [args...]


  XDMC allows you to invoke Display Manager commands from the command
  Shell or from within a Shell script.  This is similar to pressing the
  <CMD> key on the keyboard and then typing the DM command in the DM
  input window, which is the usual way to perform DM operations.


ARGUMENTS

  dm_command
  (required)       Specify the Display Manager command to be executed.
                   See HELP DM COMMANDS for a topical command index.

  args ...
  (optional)       Specify any arguments to be passed to the DM command.
                   These are sent directly to the DM without further
                   processing by the command Shell.


EXAMPLES

  1. $ xdmc dq                Cause the DM to send a quit fault to the
                               current process.  This is analagous to
                               the SIGP (SIGNAL_PROCESS) Shell command,
                               with the following important difference.
                               Whereas SIGP accepts an argument designating
                               which process to fault, this example will
                               send a fault to whatever process (if any)
                               is pointed to by the current cursor position.

  2. $ xdmc cp /com/sh        Cause the DM to create a new process and
                               invoke the Shell.  This is the same as
                               pressing the <SHELL> key.
