10 commands you need.
1. cp - use it before you edit a file like /etc/system
2. tar cf - use it before you edit a file/configuration/move a server
3. ufsdump - use it before you change a filesystem/file/configuration/disk/move a server
4. pwd - use it before you do that rm -r ./*
5. uname -a - use it before you do that rm -r ./* (make sure you are on that host you "know" you are on)
6. ufsrestore - won't be any good if you can't bring those ufsdumps back
7. tar xf - won't be any good if you can't bring those tar'ed files back
8. man - you can find so many more commands that will cause you to need these others to get you out of trouble
9. vi - and more importantly, :q! to get out without saving.
10. exit, logout - keeps a server safe!

xdmxconfig
xdmxconfig(1) General Commands Manual xdmxconfig(1) NAME
xdmxconfig - a graphical configuration tool for Xdmx configuration files SYNOPSIS
xdmxconfig [filename] DESCRIPTION
xdmxconfig reads, edits, and writes configuration files for the Xdmx server. The grammar for the configuration file is specified in the Xdmx(1) manual page. To start from scratch, create a "New Global" and specify the name and overall dimensions for the configuration. Then use "New Display" to enter more displays. If there is more than one configuration, the configuration name button will bring up a selection menu. In the right-hand pannel, the left mouse button will move the highlighted display at "tool resolution"; the middle mouse button will move the highlighted display by a single pixel (at "wall resolution"); and the right mouse button will bring up a menu allowing the highlighted display to be edited or deleted. The arrow keys will also move the highlighted display by a single pixel. BUGS
Currently, entries with the wall keyword are not editable, but will be preserved in the new output file. The tool will quit when requested by the user, even if a configuration file has not been written out (i.e., without warning). The menu interaction should be improved (menu entries that don't currently work should be greyed-out, for example). The Help button does not work. SEE ALSO
