VUECOMMAND(1X)
NAME
vuecommand - provide execution support for Vue products.
SYNOPSIS
vuecommand [options]
OPTIONS
−mincache n
Specifies the number of terminal windows that are prestarted. This is also the minimum number of terminal windows to cache. The default is zero. Note that increasing this default (perhaps to two), will result in an increased login time, while improving initial terminal start up time.
−maxcache n
Specifies the maximum number of terminal windows to cache. The default is four.
−terminal <terminal_emulator>
Specifies the terminal emulator to use for the terminal caching. The default is /usr/bin/X11/hpterm.
−help Prints the usage and then exits.
DESCRIPTION
Vuecommand is an HP VUE daemon which accepts requests to invoke HP-UX commands and to start applications which create their own windows. The output from the HP-UX commands can be displayed in several window types including a terminal emulation window and a shared output window. The commands and applications can be started on any host which is properly configured to run HP Vue.
Vuecommand uses HP’s X11 terminal emulator (see hpterm (1)) to display the output for all of its non-window smart requests. For performance reasons, vuecommand caches the terminal emulators. A fixed number of terminal windows are "pre-started" in an unmapped condition and when needed, the terminal windows are mapped with output from the associated request. When the user closes a terminal window vuecommand unmaps the window and reuses it. To change the appearance or behavior of vuecommand’s windows, set the appropriate resource for hpterm.
RESOURCES
Vuecommand uses the following resources:
| HP VUE Vuecommand Resource Set | |||
| Name | Class | Type | Default |
| maxCache | MaxCache | int | 4 |
| mapWindow | MapWindow | Boolean | True |
| minCache | MinCache | int | 0 |
| outputOnlyIcon | OutputOnlyIcon | XmString | Output |
| outputOnlyName | OutputOnlyName | XmString | Output Only Window |
| permTerminalIcon | PermTerminalIcon | XmString | Perm-Term |
| permTerminalName | PermTerminalName | XmString | Permanent Terminal Window |
| sharedOutputIcon | SharedOutputIcon | XmString | Shared |
| sharedOutputName | SharedOutputName | XmString | Shared Output Window |
| shellTerminalIconShell | TerminalIcon | XmString | Terminal |
| shellTerminalName | ShellTerminalName | XmString | Terminal Window |
| terminal | Terminal | XmString | /usr/bin/X11/hpterm |
| terminalIcon | TerminalIcon | XmString | Terminal |
| terminalName | TerminalName | XmString | Terminal Window |
maxCache
Specifies the maximum number of terminal windows to cache.
mapWindow
Specifies whether vuecommand should explicitly map the terminal windows. If this resource is set to False, the terminal emulator’s "mapOnOutput" must be set to True (it is False by default). If both of these resources are False, an action may not get its’ window mapped.
minCache
Specifies the number of terminal windows that are prestarted. This is also the minimum number of terminal windows to cache.
outputOnlyIcon
Specifies the icon title for output only requests.
outputOnlyName
Specifies the window title for output only requests.
permTerminalIcon
Specifies the icon title for permanent terminal requests.
permTerminalName
Specifies the window title for permanent terminal requests.
sharedOutputIcon
Specifies the icon title for shared output requests.
sharedOutputName
Specifies the window title for shared output requests.
terminal
Specifies the terminal emulator to use.
shellTerminalIcon
Specifies the icon title for shell terminal requests.
shellTerminalName
Specifies the window title for shell terminal requests.
terminalIcon
Specifies the icon title for terminal requests.
terminalName
Specifies the window title for terminal requests.
