Commands Reference, Volume 6

xuserm Command

Purpose

Starts Users & Groups Manager, a Visual System Management (VSM) application.

Syntax

xuserm

Description

The xuserm command starts Users & Groups Manager, one of the Visual System Management (VSM) applications. Users & Groups Manager is a graphical interface that enables you to perform security tasks through direct manipulation of objects (icons), freeing you from entering complex command syntax or from searching through menus.

Users & Groups Manager makes adding users simple by providing system-defined and user-customized templates. Simple drag-and-drop actions enable you to set user passwords, change a user's language, and allow or disallow a user to log in to a system (enable or disable).

The Users & Groups Manager session creates or adds to the smit.log and smit.script files in your home directory. (These are the same files appended when you run a SMIT session.) The commands built and run by Users & Groups Manager are added to the end of the smit.log file along with the command output. The time, name of the task, and the command (flags and parameters included) are added to the end of the smit.script file in a format that can easily be used to create executable shell scripts.

Example

To start Users & Groups Manager, enter:

xuserm

To see a list tasks you can perform for an object or area, press the right mouse button to display its pop-up menu. Read the text in the Information Area for help on the objects and areas.

Files

smit.log Specifies detailed information on your session, with time stamps.
smit.script Specifies the task commands run during your session, with time stamps.
