sharemgr - shared resource manager
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.19. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME sharemgr - shared resource manager SYNOPSIS /usr/sysadm/bin/sharemgr DESCRIPTION The Shared Resource Manager displays the directories, removable media devices, and printers on your workstation that are shared over the network with other workstations. The directories displayed by sharemgr are those which have been exported via nfs using the exportfs(1M) command. The removable media devices are those which have been shared via mediad(1M). Printers are displayed if remote workstations are allowed to print to your printers, which is controlled by the rhosts(4) file for the lp account on your system. sharemgr provides access to interactive guides (also called tasks) that let you share and stop sharing directories, removable media devices, and printers. These guides are accessed via the buttons on the sharemgr window. GUIDES Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users through the steps necessary to perform various system administration tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking on the system. A guide typically consists of a series of pages that prompt users to enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages using the Prev and Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys). When the user reaches the last page of a guide and clicks the OK button, the system executes one or more privileged commands to perform the system administration task. These commands are located in /usr/sysadm/privcmd. See runpriv(1M) for more information about privileged commands. Many of the guides require that a user either know the root password or be assigned the necessary privileges (using the PrivilegeManager(1)) in order to perform the task. Start Sharing a Directory This guide lets you specify a directory to be shared using nfs. The privilege needed for this task is: o Share Filesystem (sharefs(1M)) Stop Sharing a Directory This guide lets you specify stop sharing a directory. The privilege needed for this task is: o Stop Sharing Filesystem (unsharefs(1M)). Share Removable Media This guide lets you specify a removable media device to be shared using mediad(1M). The privilege needed for this task is: o Share Removable Media (shareRemovableMedia(1M)). Stop Sharing Removable Media This guide lets you stop sharing a removable media device. The privilege needed for this task is: o Stop Sharing Removable Media (unshareRemovableMedia(1M)). Start Sharing Printers This guide lets you start sharing your printers with other workstations. The privilege needed for this task is: o Share Printers (sharePrinters(1M)). Stop Sharing Printers This guide lets you stop sharing printers. The privilege needed for this task is: o Stop Sharing Printers (unsharePrinters(1M)).
