I am trying to redesign how wee do remote access to our UNIX based DM and oxview machines to acomodate some changes on the IT side. One of the things I need to acomplihs is make certain sessions started this way have omsets disabled. I was pointed to the posibilty of doing this in /usr/fox/wp/data/wp51_cmds. Looking at this file, it does look like this is a posible place to acomplish this. However, i have never dealt with this file before, so I have a couple of questions. It appears that this is a dmcmd script that is automaticaly executed whne a DM sessions is started. s this correct? If so, is there a way I can evalute, from the command line, what a given variable is that this script examines. For instance there is a line that I beleive says "if the DM is not local disable omsts". it looks like this: == $DM_LOCAL N dmcmd disable clralm is his assumption correct? If so, can I test DM_LOCAL from a shell prompt (IE in a vt100 window)? I would have thought I could do this with omget, but if I can then I must not know how to sue omget, which is posible. In addition, how can I determine what variables are available to test against in this script? Thanks. -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
