ssadm edit

ssadm edit runs the SunScreen configuration editor.

Usage:

ssadm edit policy

ssadm edit policy < file

ssadm edit policy -c commandstring

See "Configuration Editor" for information regarding commands supported by ssadm edit. The configuration editor can be used in any of three modes: interactive, batch, or "-c" mode. In interactive mode, the editor prints a prompt (edit>) before each command is read from your terminal. In batch mode, the editor silently reads commands from standard input. Commands are read until the editor receives end-of-file or a quit command.

If ssadm edit is run on an interactive terminal and its input and output are not redirected, it automatically enters interactive mode. If standard input is a pipe or a file, the configuration editor runs in batch mode.

If ssadm edit is run with the -c option, it executes the commandstring and then exits without reading any other commands. commandstring must be a single argument to the program, so in the Solaris shell it usually has to be quoted with single or double quotes.
