Creating Your Own Icons

The icons used by the Console Manager software are in X11 bitmap format and can be created using any of the available bitmap editors. For example:

RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$PAINT MYICON.XBM

When you create your own icons, ensure that you, or your system manager, place them in:

There are two directories - one is reserved for use by Console Manager, and the other for user-defined icons. The two directories are linked via the logical name CONSOLE$ICONS. Place any icons you create in CONSOLE$USER_ICONS.

When displaying a list of available icons, both interfaces to the configuration editor replace any underscore (_) characters with spaces. This is for aesthetic purposes.

The file extensions recognized by Console Management for the various bitmaps are listed in the following table.

Customizing SSH

To customize the SSH client command verb for use with Console Manager, define the logical name CONSOLE$SSH_COMMAND. This logical provides the ability to set SSH command options and use the correct command for the IP stack installed on the system. By default, the command verb used by Console Manager is ssh.

For example, verbose mode can be turned on by defining the logical name,

$ DEFINE/SYSTEM CONSOLE$SSH_COMMAND "ssh -v".

In the same way, you can enable IPv6 by defining the logical name,

$ DEFINE/SYSTEM CONSOLE$SSH_COMMAND "ssh -6".
