The point is that all moderns operating systems are fast enough on the same hardware and it is almost always NOT the OS that causes the bottlenecks, it is normally problems in the network or in the network configuration.
It takes me longer to load Microsoft Word on Windows 98 than to open up a browser and pull up this forum... because of cable modems (sorry our friend on 28.8 dialup!) and the fact that the browser is less bloated software than Microsoft Word. (that is IE and not recent Netscape Mozilla code... that seems really slow!)
When the net is slow I don't blame the fact that the
www.unix.com server is running on Slackware Linux and I'm using a browser over the net on a little Windows 98 laptop
Likewise, when the net is fast, I don't complain that Microsoft Word opens slower than the forums across the net
Glad we got this straight .....

NAME
kcweb - starts the HP-UX kernel configuration tool (a Web interface)
SYNOPSIS
[ ] [ ]
DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool ( ) is used to manage kernel tunables, modules and alarms.
The HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool provides both Web-based and terminal user interface. The Web-based interface is launched through the HP
System Management Homepage.
Superuser privileges are required to access the HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool. A user who does not have superuser privileges has read-
only access to the Tunables, Modules and Alarms area in the HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool and cannot modify kernel tunables, modules,
alarms or reboot the system.
An attempt will be made to connect to a Mozilla/Netscape Web browser running on the X server defined by the DISPLAY environment variable.
If a running Mozilla/Netscape client is found, it will be used, otherwise a new Mozilla/Netscape session will be initiated. This will only
happen if the Mozilla/Netscape process is running in the same system as that referenced by the DISPLAY variable, unless the -F option is
used.
Note: By default, the HP-UX kernel configuration tool (kcweb) invokes the Mozilla Web browser. If you want to support any other browser
(Netscape), set the $BROWSER environment variable as shown below:
The terminal user interface is invoked if any of the following conditions are true:
o The command is invoked with the option.
o The environment variable is not set.
The Web-based interface is launched if all the following conditions are true:
o The command is invoked with option.
o The environment variable is set.
o The command is available on the system.
If the Web-based interface cannot be launched, invokes the terminal user interface.
Options
recognizes the following options:
Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
The option forces the client browser to be used or started, even when the X-traffic between the X-server and the Mozilla
browser is not secure.
Use this option only when you are sure the network traffic between the host where Mozilla is running and the host in the
DISPLAY variable is secure.
If cannot start the Web browser, the terminal interface is started.
When the HP-UX Kernel Configuration Web interface is invoked by SAM, the option is used.
If a privileged user (root) executes the
command with the option, a temporary login bypass key is generated. The bypass key enables the user to access the Web
interface without having to provide login information again.
When the HP-UX Kernel Configuration Web interface is invoked by SAM, the option is used.
Opens the terminal interface for managing kernel tunables, modules and alarms regardless of the current setting of the
environment variable.
You can also start the HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool using one of the following methods:
o Invoke and select the Kernel Configuration (character mode) functional area to launch the terminal user interface and the Kernel
Configuration (Web-based Interface) to launch the Web-based tool
o Invoke the HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool Web interface by typing the URL in the address bar of your browser, where hostname is
the name of the server
o Launch the HP-UX Systems Insight Manager on the server and select the Kernel Configuration tool from the Configure -> HP-UX Con-
figuration menu
Online Help
After the HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool is started, the online help provides details on how to use the tool.
RETURN VALUES
Upon completion, kcweb returns one of the following values:
o 0 Successful
o 1 An error occurred
