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
