XDMC(1)                         Domain/OS SysV                         XDMC(1)




NAME
     xdmc - execute a DM command from the shell

SYNOPSIS
     xdmc dm_command [args...]

DESCRIPTION
     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.

     dm_command (required)
                    Specify the Display Manager command to be executed.

     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.

                    Default if omitted:  no arguments passed

EXAMPLES
     $ xdmc dq

     Cause the DM to send a quit fault to the current process.

     $ 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.
