HPUX 11.23 - Sam and Smh.
I've just been on an HP Training Course for HPUXv11.31 and found out about the gui / web for SMH. I never did a course on HP11v23. On our two servers here in the UK that run 11.23 I'm pretty sure that when I typed in "sam" on the command line it went to a sort of smh. (There was a message saying something like "sam isn't used anymore - taking you to smh") and then smh on the tui had letter options you could type rather than scrolling down to the option you wanted (i.e. HPUX11.11).
However since I started using the smh gui on the two servers after the course when you type in sam on the command line it now takes you to tui sam and not to any kind of tui smh!

Xserver(1) General Commands Manual Xserver(1)
NAME
X - X Window System display server dispatcher
SYNOPSIS
X [ option ...]
DESCRIPTION
:
Hewlett-Packard supports two X servers on HP-UX platforms, the Xhp X server which supports HP VISUALIZE graphics devices and the Xf86 X
server which supports all other graphics devices. These X servers are delivered as /usr/bin/X11/Xhp and /usr/bin/X11/Xf86.
The X dispatcher determines which X server to launch based on the available graphics devices. The control file /etc/X11/Xstart can provide
additional guidance to the X dispatcher. The control file allows the user to specify which X server to start for given display connection
numbers. The only X servers supported by the X dispatcher are Xhp, Xf86 and Xvfb. If no Xstart file exists, the dispatcher loads the
appropriate X server for the graphics device in the system. HP-UX does not deliver the /etc/X11/Xstart file. This file can be created by
using the SAM/SMH utility.
OPTIONS
If the X dispatcher is invoked with no arguments, the display connection is assumed to be :0. The X dispatcher checks for display connec-
tion options and, if found, uses that display connection number when it checks the Xstart file. All other options are passed on to the X
server when it is started and it is the X server's responsibility to validate these options. Not all options may be supported on both X
servers; refer to Xhp(1) and Xf86(1) to verify supported options for each X server.
RETURN VALUE
None
Xstart EXAMPLES
The control file syntax is the X server to start followed by the display connection number. Valid entries take the form of:
Xhp :0 Start the Xhp X server on display connection 0
Xf86 :10 Start the Xf86 X server on display 10
/usr/bin/X11/Xhp :5 Start the Xhp X server on display connection 5
/usr/bin/X11/Xvfb :7 Start the X Virtual Framebuffer server on display connection 7
FILES
/etc/X11/Xstart Dispatcher control file.
/var/X11/Xserver/logs/Xstartup.N.log X dispatcher log file for display N.
