NAME
       admxterminal - manage serving of X display terminals

SYNOPSIS
       admxterminal -o add [ -b bootstrap ] hostname ...

       admxterminal -o modify [ -b bootstrap ] hostname ...

       admxterminal -o delete hostname ...

       admxterminal -o list [ -qv ] [ hostname ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       All X display terminals, when they begin operation, must obtain a
       bootstrap from a bootstrap file on some computer system, called the
       ``server''.  The server machine must recognize requests from X
       terminal clients, and provide the appropriate bootstrap.  The
       admxterminal command is run on the server machine to identify X
       display terminals that the machine must serve and the bootstrap file
       to use for each.  The command can also be used to delete an X display
       terminal from the list of terminals that are to be served, and it can
       list all X terminals that are being served.

   Operations
       add       Identify an X terminal, using its network host name, to be
                 served by this machine.  A bootstrap file may also be
                 specified.  The X terminal must be registered in both the
                 hosts database (using admhost(1M)) and the ethers database
                 (using admether(1M)) before being added as a client.

       modify    Change the bootstrap file used for an X terminal.

       delete    Remove an X terminal, given its network host name, from the
                 list of terminals that must be served by this machine.

       list      Display information about all or selected X terminals.  The
                 information includes the network address and the bootstrap
                 file.

   Options
       -b bootstrap
                 The pathname of the bootstrap file.  The default bootstrap
                 file is /usr/opt/X11/xtd/avx30boot.

       -q        Quiet.  Omit header lines from the output of the list
                 operation.

       -v        Verbose.  Include header lines in the output of the list
                 operation.  This option is enabled by default.

EXAMPLES
       To add an X terminal named ``xterm1'' using the default bootstrap
       file:

admxterminal(1M)                 DG/UX 5.4.2                admxterminal(1M)


            admxterminal -o add xterm1

       To list all X terminals served by this host:

            admxterminal -o list


OUTPUT
       The output of the list operation includes each client host name,
       client Internet address, name of bootstrap link in the /tftpboot
       directory (the hexadecimal representation of the Internet address),
       and the actual bootstrap file.

       Unless the -q option is used, a message is displayed if there are no
       X display terminals being served and header lines are produced if
       there are.

FILES
       /usr/opt/X11/xtd/avx30boot    The default bootstrap file.

       /tftpboot                     Directory containing bootstrap file
                                     links for each client.

DIAGNOSTICS
   Warnings
        -     An attempt was made to add an X terminal that is already being
              served by this machine.

        -     The bootstrap file for the X terminal cannot be removed during
              a delete operation, but the remainder of the operation
              completed successfully.

   Errors
        -     The X terminal is not registered in the hosts or ethers
              database.

        -     The X terminal is not a client of this machine, or it is a
              diskless client and not an X terminal client (delete).

        -     The bootstrap file does not exist.

        -     The bootstrap file link could not be created.

   Exit Codes
        0     The operation was successful.

        1     The operation was unsuccessful.

        2     The operation failed due to access restrictions.  The add,
              modify, and delete operations can only be used by the super-
              user.

        3     There was an error in the command line.
