Executing an ssadm -r Command on a Remote Administration Station

You can configure a Screen from a remote Administration Station by preceding the commands listed in this appendix with ssadm -r and the name of the Screen you want to administer. For example, to activate the policy "Initial" on a remote Screen called SunScreen1, you would type:

# ssadm -r SunScreen1 activate Initial

where ssadm -r indicates that you want to execute a command on a remote Screen called SunScreen1, activate is the name of the ssadm sub-command, and Initial is the name of the policy you want to activate.

A local ssadm command can be turned into a remote ssadm command by adding -r remote_screen_name immediately after ssadm.

When ssadm is used with the -r option to access a remote Screen, the name of the ticketfile can be specified using the -F option, or through the SSADM_TICKET_FILE environment.
