Administrator’s Guide
Introduction
Programs
The following sections describe the programs available on the
desktop. Program access depends on your thin client. You can
configure the thin client so that the user will have access to these
programs through HP Connection Administrator or Citrix.
Console
The Console provides a dialog box with a prompt
#
for entry of
various shell commands. To start the Console, right-click anywhere
on the desktop and select
Console
.
The suite of commands provided come from the BusyBox suite. You
can determine the specific commands currently supported once you
invoke the Console dialog box. For a list of supported commands,
type
busybox
in the Console dialog box. You can find complete
documentation on command syntax at
www.busybox.net
.
BusyBox combines scaled down versions of many common UNIX
utilities into a single executable. The utilities in BusyBox generally
have fewer options than their full-featured GNU counterparts;
however, the options that are included in BusyBox provide the
expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
counterparts. Most BusyBox commands support the
-h
option to
provide a terse runtime description of their behavior.
Using shell commands
Shell commands provide for administration of user management. Use
the Console dialog box for this purpose. User management shell
commands include:
■
addgroup
■
adduser
■
chgrp
■
delgroup
■
deluser
■
passwd
■
chown
