Exceed onDemand Client lets you configure and start X sessions. That is, it lets you use your computer to access and work with X applications that reside on UNIX, Linux, VMS, and other X Window System host machines in a configurable environment.
Xconfig and Xstart are the two Exceed onDemand Client tools that let you configure everything from screen and input settings to remote X application startup.
Session Configuration with Xconfig
The look and behavior of your X session is determined by the settings contained in the Xconfig file (.cfg) you select to manage the session. Using Xconfig manager, you can create any number of Xconfig files to accommodate different session requirements.
Remote X Application Startup with Xstart
In addition to specifying an Xconfig file for your X session, you can specify an Xstart file (.xs). Xstart is an application that lets you create, configure and manage Xstart files for remote login and automatic X application startup. In these files, you specify the X application host to which you want to connect, your login credentials for that host, and command line parameters necessary to start the X application you require. You also specify a startup method: REXEC, RSH, RLOGIN, TELNET, Secure Shell, or Server Host Application or Windows RDP.
Whenever you initiate an X session with Exceed onDemand Client, you can select from the Xstart files you have created, and run the one that is configured to connect you to the proper host and start the required X application.
Use the Exceed onDemand Client connection dialog box to log in to Exceed Connection Server. There are a number of ways to start X sessions. The method by which your X session starts after Exceed onDemand Client establishes a connection to the server depends upon the startup mode settings in the Xconfig file and, optionally, the Xstart file you select in the Exceed onDemand Client connection dialog box.
Preconfigured Startup with Connection Documents
You can save the Exceed Connection Server connection information and Xconfig and Xstart file selections you entered by creating connection documents (.eod*). Creating connection documents gives you the option of starting future X sessions by running the saved files from a web page, command line, or from the file manager.
Tip: Connection documents are version specific. These files are referred to generically as .eod*.
