SYNOPSIS
[ ] [ ]
DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool ( ) is used to manage kernel tun‐
ables, modules and alarms.
The HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool provides both Web-based and termi‐
nal user interface. The Web-based interface is launched through the HP
System Management Homepage.
Superuser privileges are required to access the HP-UX Kernel Configura‐
tion tool. A user who does not have superuser privileges has read-only
access to the Tunables, Modules and Alarms area in the HP-UX Kernel
Configuration tool and cannot modify kernel tunables, modules, alarms
or reboot the system.
An attempt will be made to connect to a Mozilla/Netscape Web browser
running on the X server defined by the DISPLAY environment variable. If
a running Mozilla/Netscape client is found, it will be used, otherwise
a new Mozilla/Netscape session will be initiated. This will only happen
if the Mozilla/Netscape process is running in the same system as that
referenced by the DISPLAY variable, unless the -F option is used.
Note: By default, the HP-UX kernel configuration tool (kcweb) invokes
the Mozilla Web browser. If you want to support any other browser (Net‐
scape), set the $BROWSER environment variable as shown below:
The terminal user interface is invoked if any of the following condi‐
tions are true:
· The command is invoked with the option.
· The environment variable is not set.
The Web-based interface is launched if all the following conditions are
true:
· The command is invoked with option.
· The environment variable is set.
· The command is available on the system.
If the Web-based interface cannot be launched, invokes the terminal
user interface.
Options
recognizes the following options:
Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
The option forces the client browser to be used or
started, even when the X-traffic between the X-server
and the Mozilla browser is not secure.
Use this option only when you are sure the network
traffic between the host where Mozilla is running and
the host in the DISPLAY variable is secure.
If cannot start the Web browser, the terminal inter‐
face is started.
When the HP-UX Kernel Configuration Web interface is
invoked by SAM, the option is used.
If a privileged user (root) executes the
command with the option, a temporary login bypass key
is generated. The bypass key enables the user to
access the Web interface without having to provide
login information again.
When the HP-UX Kernel Configuration Web interface is
invoked by SAM, the option is used.
Opens the terminal interface for managing kernel tunables, mod‐
ules and alarms regardless of the current setting of the
environment variable.
You can also start the HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool using one of the
following methods:
· Invoke and select the Kernel Configuration (character mode)
functional area to launch the terminal user interface and the
Kernel Configuration (Web-based Interface) to launch the Web-
based tool
· Invoke the HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool Web interface by
typing the URL in the address bar of your browser, where
hostname is the name of the server
· Launch the HP-UX Systems Insight Manager on the server and
select the Kernel Configuration tool from the Configure ->
HP-UX Configuration menu
